The United Nations has proclaimed 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. The goal is to recognise “the importance of quantum science and the need for wider awareness of its past and future impact”. But why quantum? Why now? Quantum science is both complex and weird.

In 1949, a wildfire broke out in a place called Mann Gulch, a remote area of Montana.

These were 20-something, athletic men in their prime.
