Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This is a non-binding Senate resolution recognizing April 14, 2025 as “World Quantum Day” and endorsing the goals of World Quantum Day. It notes that quantum physics studies matter at the atomic and subatomic level and that World Quantum Day is celebrated in many countries to promote public understanding of quantum science and technology. The resolution emphasizes that quantum information science, engineering, and technology are important for economic competition, have the potential to solve problems beyond current technologies, and contribute to everyday technologies (like GPS, semiconductors, and lasers). It also highlights the multidisciplinary nature of quantum science, the importance of STEM education for all students, and encourages schools to observe the day with activities that engage students in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The document also references 2025 as the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics and notes related international recognition. In short, the resolution publicly recognizes World Quantum Day, affirms the value and potential of quantum science, and urges educational activities to promote STEM learning.
