MDPI Webinar | Quantum Mechanics and Open Access 2025, 25 September 2025

Welcome to our webinar series on Quantum Mechanics and Open Access, organized in recognition of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ 2025).

This year marks a historic milestone—the centenary of the birth of quantum mechanics, a field that has transformed our understanding of the universe and continues to drive innovation across physics, chemistry, computing, and beyond. It is both a moment of reflection on a century of extraordinary breakthroughs and an opportunity to envision the next hundred years of discovery.

Our theme, “Quantum Mechanics and Open Access”, highlights not only the profound scientific achievements of the past but also the vital role that open knowledge plays in shaping the future of research. Open access ensures that discoveries are shared, collaborations are strengthened, and progress in quantum science remains a truly global endeavor.

We are delighted to bring together a distinguished group of speakers, researchers, and practitioners who will share their insights on how open access is transforming the way we communicate, collaborate, and innovate in quantum science.

Thank you for joining us on this exciting journey of science, openness, and collaboration. We look forward to engaging discussions and to collectively imagining the quantum future together.
