Paul Cadden-Zimansky Named Global Coordinator for UN’s International Year of Quantum Science and Technology

Paul Cadden-Zimansky Named Global Coordinator for UN’s International Year of Quantum Science and Technology
Bard Associate Professor of Physics Paul Cadden-Zimansky.
To mark the occasion of 100 years of quantum mechanics and to inspire its future applications, the United Nations (UN) has proclaimed 2025 to be the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). The UN resolution recommends the year to be “observed through activities at all levels aimed at increasing public awareness of the importance of quantum science and applications.” UNESCO and the IYQ Secretariat have named Associate Professor of Physics Paul Cadden-Zimansky one of four Global Coordinators for IYQ in recognition of his involvement in bringing this year of international awareness to fruition and coordinating aspects of some of the highest profile global events, including the IYQ 2025 Opening Ceremony at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris this February. Professor Cadden-Zimansky is described as “the physicist at Bard College who set the ball rolling that eventually resulted in the UN declaration” in the cover story of the January 1, 2025 issue of Physics Today. “In physics, everyone understands how central quantum mechanics has become, but that’s not the case for the public,” said Cadden-Zimansky. Professor Cadden-Zimansky is also scheduled to speak about quantum at the Consumer Electronics Convention, the world’s largest annual tech event, in Las Vegas on January 9.
