Quantum Science born from the observation and analysis of nature, now stands at the heart of a new technological era. It is expanding our understanding of physical reality and enabling breakthroughs in quantum computing, precision metrology, secure communication, sensing, and next-generation materials. With 2025 declared the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology by the United Nations General Assembly under UNESCO’s leadership, the time is especially right to broaden quantum literacy among students, educators, and young researchers. The Centre for Excellence in Quantum Science (CEQS) seeks to strengthen this foundation by engaging school and college students, nurturing innovation, and fostering national and international collaboration in quantum science and technology.
