100 years ago, the development of quantum mechanics began.
Today, UK researchers and businesses are pioneering discoveries that could allow us to do things previously thought impossible.
Join us for #QuantumYear2025: iop.org/IYQ
Watch the opening ceremony live taking place at the @UNESCO Headquarters in Paris here: quantum2025.org/iyq-event/iy…
