IYQ2025 aims to: 🔹Raise awareness 🔹Promote education & capacity building 🔹Foster international cooperation 🔹Secure policy/funding for quantum R&D Throughout 2025, expect events by countries, scientific unions, universities & industry leaders showcasing quantum breakthroughs. As we enter the quantum era, IYQ2025 will harness this transformative tech for humanity's greater good.Get involved in this historic milestone! #IYQ2025 #QuantumTech

As we stand at the beginning of the quantum computing era, it's crucial to reflect on past scientific breakthroughs from the nuclear age to the space race to glean valuable lessons on navigating the complex interplay between national development and global collaboration. Quantum computing presents new challenges and opportunities. It pushes the boundaries of applied quantum mechanics, a field known for its inherent complexity and our limited understanding. This era of scientific advancement raises essential questions about the role of nations and the potential for global cooperation. Yet, beyond national agendas, the true spirit of science thrives on collaboration of individuals. The potential for breakthroughs does not belong to any single country; it is a human endeavor that flourishes with diversity and shared goals. Actions we can take to create a global community: i. Engage with the global community: Reach out to peers across borders. Participate in international conferences, contribute to collaborative projects, and share your insights freely. The digital age has given us tools to connect and collaborate in ways that were at one time completely unimaginable. ii. Educate and advocate: Always advocate for open, inclusive science. Educate those around you about the benefits of global scientific collaboration. iii. Support open science initiatives: Contribute to or volunteer for projects and organizations that promote open science. These platforms often need both professional skills and general support to help them grow and continue providing open resources to the global scientific community. iv. Foster the next generation: If you are in a position to do so, mentor students and young professionals from around the world. Encourage their interest in science and technology. Diversity in ideas and innovations springs from diversity in those who create them. v. Innovate responsibly: As we push the boundaries of what quantum computing can achieve, let us also commit to ethical innovation. Consider the broader implications of your work and strive to ensure that the benefits of quantum technologies are accessible to all. Let all of us -- scientists, engineers, and enthusiasts alike -- unite to turn the promise of quantum computing into a tool for universal progress. The era of quantum computing will not just define our future; it will be defined by our actions today.
