World Quantum Day

Understanding World Quantum Day

  • World Quantum Day was established in 2021 to honour Planck's constant (4.14), a significant quantity in quantum physics. 
  • It also aims to enhance the awareness of quantum science and its technological implications.
  • The date, 14th April, was selected as it matches the first three digits of Planck's Constant (4.14 x 10^-15 eVs) when rounded up.
  • United Nations has declared the year 2025 as the 'International Year of Quantum Science and Technology'.
