UNESCO has declared that this year, 2025, is the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Numerous international and national physics associations have endorsed the theme. There are a few industry and academic partners as well. DTLR welcomes the themed year, just as I did for 2015's "International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies".
2025 is an appropriate year to celebrate all things quantum. Though quantum physics got its real start in 1900 with Max Planck's blackbody radiation theory, the theoretical developments from then through 1925 are now characterized as the "old quantum theory". Quantum theory began to assume the form that we now understand it as in 1925, one century ago, with the publication of Schrodinger's wave mechanics, Heisenberg's matrix mechanics, and Pauli's exclusion principle.
Hence let us welcome the new year of 2025 and take this opportunity to celebrate a century of quantum physics.
