World Quantum Day - 14th April
World Quantum Day aims to promote public understanding of quantum science and technology around the world. The UK is at the forefront of research into Quantum Technology, where physics pushes the cutting edge of technological innovation.
The resources in this collection can be used with students aged 14-19 with some coming from the UK National Quantum Technologies programme which brings A-level physics and computer science bang up-to-date. Students will see how the physics they learn about, and the practical activities they carry out, directly relate to future careers.
You can read about how your students can be inspired by Quantum Technologies here.
