A global initiative declared by the United Nations to celebrate 100 years since the development of quantum mechanics. The year 2025 is dedicated to raising awareness about the importance of quantum science and its applications through various events and activities worldwide.
Initiatives by WACQT researchers:
Nov 24-25: Looking into the future with quantum and artificial intelligence - Chalmers
Join us for a symposium on Quantum Science and Artificial Intelligence that brings together the brightest minds in science. Prepare to be captivated by a series of compelling lectures and dynamic discussions that will dive into the latest groundbreaking discoveries and innovations. The event will be moderated by the renowned researcher and author Emma Frans.
Sept 5: Public Lecture by Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek - Lund University
Professor Wilczek, celebrated for the discovery of asymptotic freedom, played a central role in establishing Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD), the modern theory of the strong interaction. In this talk, he will reflect on five decades of pioneering research – from unified field theories and the Higgs particle to the ongoing search for axions, possible constituents of dark matter.
