Background Note

The United Nations' declaration of 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) is a pivotal step in promoting global awareness of quantum advancements. This landmark initiative, announced by the U.N. General Assembly on June 7, 2024, commemorates the centennial of quantum mechanics, which began in 1925. It enjoys the support of numerous scientific societies and international organizations, emphasizing the global importance of quantum science. Professors John Dudley (Université de Franche-Comté, France) and Joseph Niemela (Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Italy) spearheaded the process that culminated in the U.N. proclamation. The U.N. invites individuals, organizations, schools, and governments to leverage IYQ 2025 to promote quantum science and technology, particularly among audiences unfamiliar with the subject. Quantum science is anticipated to play a key role in addressing critical global challenges highlighted in the U.N.'s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including climate change, energy security, food sustainability, and access to clean water. Inspiring the next generation of quantum pioneers is essential for driving innovation and creating a positive societal impact. Taking a lead to achieve this significant milestone, the Science and Technology Innovation Advisory Council of India, under the headship of Honorable Prime Minister, has announced Quantum Technology as one of the Nine Missions of National importance on 19th April, 2023, to leverage cutting edge scientific research for India Sustainable Development. It aims to seed, nurture and scale up Scientific and Industrial R&D and fostering a vibrant and innovative ecosystem in Quantum Technology. With this backdrop, the Zaheer Science Foundation, a Delhi based non-profit Think Tank devoted for Science Popularization and Science Communication is organizing a full day workshop on "Familiarization with Quantum Science & Technology, part-2" in collaboration with JMI, New Delhi on 16th October, 2025. The main objective of this workshop is to familiarize the society with significance of this novel area of research and to delve upon the potential applications of Quantum Science and Technology, reshaping industries and improving lives globally. The Zaheer Science Foundation welcomes all enthusiasts to participate in this inspiring initiative aimed at bridging the gap between science and society, fostering curiosity, and driving the global quantum movement forward.
