"World Quantum Day is an annual awareness day organized by quantum scientists worldwide. The initiative is decentralized and bottom-up, meaning there is no single organization promoting World Quantum Day."
"At the heart of World Quantum Day is the goal of promoting public awareness of quantum science and the technologies that rely on it. The first World Quantum Day took place on April 14, 2022, and has been held every April 14th since then."
"The April 14th date is a nod to Planck's constant, a principle first theorized by the physicist Max Planck in 1900. The constant underpins quantum physics and plays a central role in technologies such as GPS, computer chips, touchscreens, and many others we rely on every day."
"According to WorldQuantumDay.org, the 2025 event saw more than 530 events take place in more than 318 cities in over 83 countries."
World Quantum Day is celebrated annually on April 14 to promote awareness of quantum science and its technologies. The initiative is decentralized, with scientists, educators, and artists collaborating to host various activities. The first event occurred in 2022, and the fifth will take place in 2026. The date honors Planck's constant, a fundamental principle in quantum physics that influences many modern technologies. In 2025, over 530 events were held in more than 318 cities across 83 countries, showcasing the global reach of this initiative.
