Embracing the new Quantum Era — 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) Taiwan Series

To celebrate the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) and commemorate the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics, the Physical Society of Taiwan (TPS) has been actively organizing a series of preparatory outreach activities since 2024. These events aim to promote the understanding and application of quantum science, allowing the public to gain deeper insights into the historical evolution of quantum mechanics and its profound impact on modern technology and everyday life. These preparatory activities include hands-on quantum experiments, the “One-Day Quantum Scientist” high school program, and the screening and discussion of the popular science short film Game On. As we enter 2025, TPS will introduce an even more extensive series of educational and outreach activities, including exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and competitions. These programs will engage people of all ages in exploring the wonders of quantum science.
