Today is World Quantum Day and many tech and science enthusiasts celebrate “the wonders of quantum science” as the official page puts it. The choice of date, 14 April, is no coincidence. The site explains: “The World Quantum Day is celebrated on April 14, a reference to 4.14, the rounded first digits of Planck’s constant: 4.1356677×10−15 eV⋅s = 0.000 000 000 000 004 1356677 electron volt second, a product of energy and time that is the fundamental constant governing quantum physics.”
It was first launched on 14 April 2021 where a countdown towards the first global celebration on 14 April 2022 began.
Dr Sebastian Weidt, CEO of Universal Quantum, commented on World Quantum Day, saying, “World Quantum Day is a moment to reflect on how far we’ve come, but also serves as a reminder that the decisions being made now carry lasting consequences.
