Aiming to raise public awareness of the importance and impact of quantum science and its applications, the U.N. has proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. The initiative was officially launched on 4 February, at an opening ceremony that took place in Paris, at the UNESCO Headquarters.
Rosario Fazio, head of ICTP’s Condensed Matter and Statistical Physics section and a physicist specializing on quantum many-body systems, co-chairs the IYQ’s steering committee and has agreed to answer a few questions about this initiative and about quantum mechanics.
