World Quantum Day Highlights Global Momentum with Colorado’s Statewide Proclamation

World Quantum Day, celebrated annually on April 14, is a global initiative to promote public awareness and understanding of quantum science and its transformative potential. In 2025, Colorado joined the international celebration in a landmark way — by officially proclaiming April 14 as “Colorado’s World Quantum Day”, underscoring the power of this global movement to inspire local action and investment.

Colorado’s recognition reflects a broader surge in quantum initiatives worldwide. The state is rapidly becoming a leader in quantum research, education, and commercialization, with nearly 3000 professionals in the field and over 30 active quantum companies. Its commitment is backed by major milestones, including designation as a U.S. Regional Technology and Innovation Hub and over $120 million in new public investments to accelerate development.

This year’s World Quantum Day showcases how international collaboration and awareness can fuel national and regional progress. From infrastructure projects like Colorado’s Quantum Incubator and Arvada Commons to multi-institutional partnerships, initiatives inspired by World Quantum Day are helping to shape the global future of quantum science.

As countries, regions, and communities engage with World Quantum Day, they contribute to a shared vision: unlocking the potential of quantum technologies to address the world’s most complex challenges.
