We are beyond excited to celebrate this milestone with all our authors, reviewers, editors, board members and the wider quantum research community. To commemorate, we asked our editors and editorial advisory board members what APL Quantum means to them, and we are proud to share their sentiments on the journal below. Check out some of the most-cited articles, as well as some editors' picks published from this first year of publication.  We look forward to receiving your submission soon!   As a researcher specializing in quantum device theory, modelling and engineering, I am honoured to serve on the advisory board of APL Quantum. Over the past year, the journal has established itself as a premier platform for cutting-edge research across quantum theory, phenomena, applied science, and technologies. APL Quantum drives the field forward in exciting and impactful directions. I look forward to its continued growth as a hub for innovative ideas. - Malin Premaratne, Monash University, Australia Editorial Advisory Board  The launch of APL Quantum could not have been more timely. While the fundamentals of quantum theory have yet to be fully explored, it is a fact that new applications are being developed every day, leading to a range of high-impact quantum technologies. In this evolving landscape, it is vital to have a means of communicating research that is of good quality, open to new ideas but cautious about unfunded promises. IYQ 2025 bodes well for APL Quantum! - Ana María Cetto, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico Editorial Advisory Board  I am proud to play a part in APL Quantum's nascent and highly successful role of publishing multidisciplinary quantum research and its bridge to technologies. The journal's breadth across scientific disciplines and technological readiness provides a valuable forum for the quantum science and technology community to share knowledge. - Barry Sanders, University of Calgary, Canada Editorial Advisory Board  Congratulations on the first anniversary! APL Quantum has been successfully cultivating an orientation that cuts through basic and applied quantum science. This to me is the right choice in this age of emerging quantum technologies, where the line between principles and applications is extremely fine and should be kept that way. - Gershon Kurizki Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel Editorial Advisory Board  Happy Anniversary, APL Quantum! As a member of the advisory board of APL Quantum, I am delighted to celebrate with the scientific community, jointly with the entire editorial team of APL Quantum, the splendid launch of this project, just in time for the International Year of Quantum 2025. - Regine Frank Larkin University, USA Editorial Advisory Board  Quantum Science and Technology plays a pivotal role on the progress of our world and APL Quantum will play an increasingly important role in all of this. It is a special moment to celebrate its first anniversary. - Mauro Fernandes Pereira Khalifa University of Science and Technology, UAE Editorial Advisory Board  Having the opportunity to contribute to APL Quantum's editorial direction allows me to help shape the future of this fascinating field. I'm particularly excited about fostering innovative work, ensuring rigorous peer review, and supporting a platform that highlights ground-breaking advancements in quantum technologies and beyond. - Khaled Mnaymneh National Research Council Canada, Canada Editorial Advisory Board  As a member of the editorial board, it has been exciting to be part of the endeavor of starting a new journal on quantum technologies. Bringing together scientists from theory and application in this emerging field is a great experience. - Stefanie Kroker TU Braunschweig, Germany Associate Editor Happy 1st Birthday, APL Quantum! As we celebrate this milestone, it's exciting to see your alignment with the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Over the past year, you've played a key role in pushing the boundaries of knowledge. Here's to many more years of quantum leaps in research, with cutting-edge and multidisciplinary publications that continue to shape the future of quantum science and technology! - Martin Weides University of Glasgow, UK Editorial Advisory Board  Congratulations to APL Quantum on its first birthday! As an associate editor, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the editorial team, authors, reviewers, and readers who have contributed to the journal's success. I look forward to seeing APL Quantum continue to push the boundaries of quantum research and make a lasting impact in the field. Wishing the journal continued success and many more years of excellence ahead! - Yu-Jung (Yuri) Lu Academia Sinica/National Taiwan University, Taiwan Associate Editor The United Nations have designated 2025 as the International Year of Quantum, to celebrate the societal and economic impact of this amazing technology on the world, inspiring the next generation. APL Quantum this past year has been a beacon showing how great science can be transformed into practical impact. We arrived just in time! - Sir Peter Knight Imperial College London, UK Editorial Advisory Board  Time flies when you're pushing the boundaries of science! As APL Quantum celebrates its first birthday, the importance of both fundamental and applied research across quantum science and technology has never been greater. I can't help but wonder—how would the pioneers of quantum theory react to this remarkable era? A time when concepts like superposition and entanglement are no longer just theoretical curiosities but the foundation of groundbreaking new technologies—some long anticipated, others entirely unexpected. One thing is certain: they would share our excitement for the discoveries ahead. Here's to another year of innovation and exploration.
