"To promote global collaboration and address critical challenges in science and technology, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) declared 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) on 7 June, 2024, under the leadership of UNESCO."
For all levels of students whether you are new or already an expert in the field
Feynman's Vision
Feynman's Vision
"Nature isn't classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you'd better make it quantum mechanical"
Solvay Conference 1927
Solvay Conference 1927
"Through the possibility of exchange between the representatives of different lines of research, this conference has contributed extraordinarily to the clarification of the physical foundations of the quantum theory. It forms, so to speak, the outward completion of the quantum theory." (Wikipedia)
Don't forget these amazing physicists of the 20th century!

Sonja Ashauer
The only graduate female student of Paul Dirac. Ashauer worked on classical electrodynamics in the hope that it might inform the quantum theory.
Katharine Way
She published a 1948 Physical Review article outlining what is now known as the Way-Wigner formula for nuclear decay
Laura Rowles
One of the first women to receive a PhD in physics from McGill University
H. Johanna Leeuwen
Rediscovered what is now called the Bohr-Van Leeuwen theorem. One of the four women to study with Lorentz
While may not have direct contribution to quantum mechanics but their contribution in physics is just as important!

Emmy Noether
Noether's Theorem on translational symmetry, rotational symmetry and time symmetry relating to the conservation of momentum, conservation of angular momentum and the conservation of energy.
Marie Curie
One of the first, and among the very few scientist to have won 2 Nobel Prizes. In both Physics and Chemistry.
Chien-Shiung Wu
Chinese-American particle and experimental physicist who made significant contributions in the fields of nuclear and particle physics. (Wikipedia). She worked on the Mahatten project and is best known for the Wu Experiment.
