Quantum Crossroads: A vision for art, culture and quantum science and technology

A vision document presented to UNESCO for the conclusion of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025. This vision document is the final outcome of Quantum Crossroads, a global event sponsored by the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025 (IYQ). Quantum Crossroads took place as a three-day gathering of artists, scientists, engineers, curators, policy makers, and cultural leaders with a track record of working on the intersection of art and quantum science & technology (QST). The event was hosted in New Zealand as a hybrid in-person and online event to enable the meaningful interaction of both physical and virtual participants. This document presenting a vision for the future of art, culture and QST was destilled from the interactions at the event, a follow-up meeting in Brazil, and subsequent consultation.
