Physics World Quantum Briefing 2025
Welcome to the latest Physics World Quantum Briefing, which commemorates the centenary of quantum mechanics and celebrates the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). This year has been chosen for IYQ as it marks 100 years since Werner Heisenberg carried out his pioneering work on quantum mechanics on the island of Helgoland, off the coast of Germany. So sit back and enjoy this selection of free-to-read articles on the history, mystery and industry of quantum mechanics. It includes an amazing fictionalized tale imagining what might have happened if Heisenberg had never made it to Helgoland all those years ago.
