Abstract The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) celebrates the centenary of quantum mechanics (QM). In this perspective, I highlight that QM is not only a playground for physical chemists but of tremendous value to organic chemists as exemplified in its ever-increasing role in the career of Nobel prizewinner R.B. Woodward. Over three decades, this ranged from the prediction of UV-visible absorption wavelengths arising from electronic excitations to the importance of molecular orbital symmetry and the derivation of the Woodward-Hoffmann rules for pericyclic reactions.
