The University of Chicago is celebrating the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), which the United Nations declared to mark a century of progress in quantum science and engineering. The University has been a key part of a growing and flourishing quantum ecosystem in Illinois and beyond, working directly on groundbreaking research as well as catalyzing large-scale investments in quantum infrastructure in the Chicagoland area.
Quantum science and technology are expected to significantly impact discoveries in science, computing, communication, finance, medicine, navigation, logistics and other areas. Throughout the year, we’ll share articles, videos, and other content explaining just what quantum is, why it matters, and how this research will translate to faster computers, earlier cancer diagnoses, and jobs in Chicago’s South Side, across the nation, and around the globe.
