14 April - World Quantum Day

 


World Quantum Day aimed at promoting awareness and understanding of quantum science and technology on a global scale. Events like this provide valuable opportunities for education, engagement, and collaboration in the field of quantum science.

Celebrating World Quantum Day on April 14 each year can help highlight the importance of quantum research and its potential to drive innovation across various industries. It can also foster discussions about the societal implications of quantum technologies and inspire the next generation of scientists and engineers to pursue careers in this exciting field.

World Quantum Day started on 14 April 2021 as an initiative by an international group of scientists. The initiative was joined by engineers, educators, science communicators, organizations and others to celebrate the first World Quantum day on 14 April 2022. April 14 was chosen because "4.14" represents the rounded first 3 digits of Planck’s constant: 4.14×10−15 eV·s.

The US Senate passed a resolution commemorating and supporting World Quantum Day on May 2, 2023.
