Quantum timeline
In 2025, we celebrate 100 years of quantum mechanics, a century of discoveries that transformed science, technology, and society.
It began in 1925, when Schr枚dinger鈥檚 wave mechanics and Heisenberg鈥檚 matrix mechanics reshaped our view of the microscopic world. In the decades that followed, quantum theory evolved from abstract ideas into powerful technologies. Atomic clocks, lasers, and the Casimir effect paved the way for today鈥檚 innovations. Entanglement and teleportation brought Einstein鈥檚 鈥渟pooky action鈥� into the lab. Quantum key distribution redefined security, and quantum computing emerged as a game changer for information processing. Today, post-quantum cryptography helps secure our digital future.
This timeline showcases global breakthroughs, and milestones from the Eindhoven quantum ecosystem. As we mark , we celebrate a century of progress, and the next quantum leap.
and follow us on to learn about each discovery in de past century.
