Yesterday marked the opening of the UNESCO International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025 at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris. This initiative aligns with Zurich Instruments' mission to help unlock the vast potential of quantum science for the benefit of society. We thank UNESCO for spearheading this global effort, raising public awareness around a subject we are passionate about.
International Year of Quantum 2025: Driving Innovation and Expanding Access to Quantum Technology
Zurich Instruments is proud to be part of this moment, with our CEO, Andrea Orzati, and Uwe Baeder, Director of Public Affairs from Rohde & Schwarz, representing us as we celebrate the impact and future of quantum technology and share our commitment to advancing the field. “We could feel the enthusiasm and drive of the community here in Paris. We are proud to be part of the global effort to bring quantum technology forward” said Andrea Orzati.
While quantum technology holds promise for groundbreaking advancements, its development requires a collaborative commitment across society. Zurich Instruments and Rohde & Schwarz are dedicated to contributing to UNESCO's initiative to promote understanding of quantum science globally. With our innovative scientific instrumentation solutions, we facilitate access to quantum technology.
Since launching the world's first commercial quantum computing control system (QCCS) in 2018, Zurich Instruments has consistently driven innovation in the field. The company pioneered the instrument class of quantum analyzers dedicated to fast qubit readout, supporting labs and quantum computing researchers worldwide controlling superconducting and spin qubits. In addition, the Zurich Instruments portfolio of lock-in amplifiers empowers the fundamental research critical to quantum technology. Building on this strong legacy, Zurich Instruments aims to lead the way in advanced control systems to support quantum computing and sensing technologies for the second quantum revolution
We offer extensive application resources and open-access software to broaden the reach of quantum knowledge. Our team is focused on extending expertise in quantum beyond traditional physics, assisting electronics engineers, computer scientists, and software developers in advancing quantum research.
