Plans for Quantum Year are coming together around the country including:

• Quantum Australia 2025: which will come to Brisbane in March 2025, coinciding with the World Science Festival
• National Science Week: Students across the country will learn to decipher “nature's hidden language” for the National Science Week Schools Theme 2025
• University sponsorship: we’re currently inviting universities to partner with us to develop Quantum Year. RMIT are our first University Gold Partner. We’re also keen to talk with industry.

In other quantum news: Australia’s Chief Scientist, Cathy Foley AO ASM, gave a plenary at the Quantum World Conference in September, Quantum Brilliance founder Andrew Horsley won a Prime Minister’s Science Prize, and we have links to a host of other recent quantum science stories.

Please let us know what you’re planning locally, in your state, or across the country. Email us at quantum2025@aip.org.au.

If you or your organisation would like to partner with the AIP to deliver Quantum Year for Australia please also get in touch at quantum2025@aip.org.au.

Look out for information soon about briefings in Perth, Brisbane, and at the AIP Congress in Melbourne.

Quantum Year will:

Educate – Reveal and explain the wonders of quantum science and its impacts on our lives today and into the future.
Inspire – Ignite the nation's curiosity about the beauty and promise of the quantum world and inspire people of all backgrounds to pursue careers in science and technology.
Celebrate – Celebrate worldwide achievements in quantum science and technology, spotlighting Australia’s pioneering leadership in this endeavour.

Find out how your organisation can be involved, and help us create conversations across Australia about the impact of quantum science and technology, past, present, and future, on every aspect of society including science, culture, politics, industry, philosophy, even sport.

Our thanks to:

• The Victoria Lead Scientist, the Royal Society of Victoria and Swinburne University for their support of the Melbourne briefing.
• The NSW Chief Scientist for his support of the Sydney briefing.
• The Tasmanian Quantum Network for organising a Hobart briefing.

Quantum Year in Australia is being organised by the Australian Institute of Physics, supported by Science in Public.
