World Quantum Day
- 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.
- The World Quantum Day is an initiative from quantum scientists around the World.
- It was launched on 14 April 2021 as the countdown towards the first global celebration on 14 April 2022.
- The day helps helps us understand Nature at its most fundamental level, it helped us develop technologies that are crucial for our life today, it can lead to future scientific and technological revolutions, and how these can impact our society.
