Over the past century, quantum science has dramatically reshaped our understanding of light and matter. Exploring quantum science has explained how atoms stick together, predicted when they won’t, and made us question what words like “wave” and “particle” really mean. The United Nations proclaimed 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology to celebrate the impact of quantum science, but it’s easy to get the impression that quantum isn’t part of our day-to-day life. In reality, many of the tools of the modern age are only possible thanks to quantum mechanics, and scientists around the world are building new technologies that help us see what’s really going on at the quantum scale.
