To celebrate a century of quantum physics, LaGuardia Community College will host an interdisciplinary conference exploring the historical developments, contemporary advancements, and future prospects of quantum science.

By resolution adopted by the General Assembly on 7 June 2024, the year 2025 has been officially designated as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, underscoring the immense global significance of quantum science. More information can be found here: https://digitallibrary.un.org/record/4052700/.

The year 2025 marks the centenary of Werner Heisenberg’s revolutionary publication on quantum mechanics. For 100 years, quantum mechanics has led to the development of lasers, MRI, transistors, computer chips, LEDs, the GPS, and countless technologies that define our modern world.

We invite you to an extraordinary celebration featuring talks by interdisciplinary speakers from LaGuardia Community College and beyond about the history, current frontiers, and future of the quantum revolution. This event is aimed at the general public: seasoned physicists, aspiring engineers, or curious students are all welcome.

We gratefully acknowledge support from the Natural Sciences Department, the Mathematics, Engineering, and Computer Science Department, and the Queens STEM Academy (funded by the U.S. Department of Education).
