World Quantum Day, 14 April 2026
World Quantum Day, observed annually on 14 April, celebrates the importance of quantum science and technology and raises public awareness of its role in shaping the future. The date 14 April references 4.14, the rounded first digits of Planck’s constant, a fundamental constant at the heart of quantum physics. World Quantum Day highlights how quantum research continues to expand our understanding of the universe while driving innovation across computing, communication, sensing, materials, and other emerging technologies.
In recognition of World Quantum Day, MDPI reaffirms its commitment to advancing cutting-edge and interdisciplinary research. Through open access publishing, we support the dissemination of discoveries in quantum science, applied physics, engineering, and related fields—ensuring knowledge is accessible and empowering researchers to contribute to the next generation of scientific and technological breakthroughs.
