One might consider 1925 to be the birth year of quantum mechanics - the year in which Heisenberg and other of his contemporaries lifted the new quantum theory onto the scaffolding that makes today's breakthroughs possible.

Today, quantum mechanics is more than a physics lecture and a field of basic research: it forms the basis of new quantum technologies such as quantum computing, quantum communication, quantum sensing and quantum simulation.
