MSU-IIT contributes to Global Quantum Dialogue on World Quantum Day
Apr 23 2025
In an inspiring display of global collaboration and scientific curiosity, MSU-IIT proudly participated in the World Quantum Day 2025, a worldwide initiative aimed at fostering public understanding and engagement with quantum science and technology.
Celebrated annually on April 14, this decentralized movement invites scientists, educators, artists, and innovators from over 120 countries to share their knowledge and passion for quantum advancements.
Representing the Philippines alongside other Southeast Asian nations such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia, MSU-IIT contributed to this global dialogue through meaningful knowledge-sharing sessions that highlighted the transformative potential of quantum technologies.
This year’s celebration holds special significance as it marks the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). By joining this historic occasion, MSU-IIT not only showcased its commitment to advancing quantum education and research but also reinforced its role as a key player in shaping the future of this cutting-edge field. Through these efforts, the Institute continues to inspire curiosity and innovation, paving the way for groundbreaking discoveries that could redefine industries and improve lives worldwide.
The Institute’s participation featured a captivating talk by Asst. Prof. Stefany Mae V. Caparida, a bona fide member of the Quantum Computing Society of the Philippines (QCSP), from the Department of Computer Applications - College of Computer Studies. She introduced attendees to the fascinating world of "Applications of Quantum Sensing for Beginners". Her presentation demystified complex concepts, offering insights into how quantum sensing can revolutionize fields like healthcare, environmental monitoring, and navigation.
Complementing her session was Dr. Ian Jasper Agulo of the University of the Philippines Baguio - Physics Professor, whose talk on "Superconducting Qubits 101: The Tech Behind Quantum Computing" shed light on the foundational technology driving quantum computing. Together, these talks not only showcased the depth of local expertise but also sparked curiosity and excitement about the possibilities quantum science holds for the future. Attendees left with a renewed appreciation for how quantum technologies are shaping our understanding of nature and paving the way for groundbreaking innovations.
Beyond the day’s events, the Quantum Computing Society of the Philippines (QCSP) unveiled exciting new initiatives to further celebrate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Among these is the Quantum PH Program, a national effort supported by DOST PCIEERD to build a vibrant quantum ecosystem across the country.
For MSU-IIT, this momentum will continue with the upcoming Quantum Computing and Blockchain Hackathon, set to take place on June 5th on campus. This event presents a unique opportunity for students, faculty, and researchers to engage with real-world quantum challenges, collaborate with peers, and develop innovative solutions that could have a tangible impact on industries ranging from finance to logistics. By participating, MSU-IIT can position itself as a leader in quantum education and innovation while empowering its community to contribute to this cutting-edge field.
Mr. Bobby Corpus Jr., President of QCSP, announced that the first-ever Quantum Information Science and Technology Conference in the Philippines (QISTCon.PH) will be held on July 30 until August 1, 2025, in Mactan, Cebu.
“The conference will bring together quantum technology and quantum computing experts from across Southeast Asia, Europe, America, and the Philippines to share cutting-edge research, foster collaborations, and inspire the next generation of quantum innovators," he said.
This historic event offers MSU-IIT an unparalleled opportunity to showcase its growing expertise in quantum science and establish valuable connections with global leaders in the field. Faculty and students can present their research, gain exposure to international advancements, and explore potential partnerships that could elevate the Institute’s contributions to quantum science.
Furthermore, participating in events like the June 5th MSU-IIT Hackathon and the upcoming QISTCon.PH positions MSU-IIT as a key player in shaping the future of quantum technology in the Philippines and beyond.
