The United Nations has declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (#IYQ25). In support of this initiative, SC Quantum developed the International Quantum Circuit (#IQC25) with partner organizations to raise quantum technology's profile and build community around this emerging field.
The International Quantum Circuit continues with Bitcamp at the University of Maryland, April 11-13, 2025.
The International Quantum Circuit is making quantum real for everyone. Here's more about our next stop:
