QUY NHƠN – More than 80 professors, scientists and analysis fellows from 14 international locations internationally, together with 60 top-performing college students in in Maths, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology from three gifted excessive faculties in the area are gathering for the worldwide convention “100 Years of Quantum Physics” held in Việt Nam’s beautiful Quy Nhơn Beach in Gia Lai Province.
Jointly organised by Rencontres du Vietnam (Meeting Vietnam) and the International Centre for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE) in collaboration with the International Organising Committee, the four-day event is of scientific significance, in celebration of the “International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ)”, proclaimed by the United Nations on June 7, 2024, marking 100 years of the event of quantum science.
The convention serves as a chance for the scientific group to look again on a century of outstanding progress in quantum physics, the muse of quantum applied sciences, that are anticipated to drive the subsequent nice scientific and technological revolution following synthetic intelligence (AI).
At the identical time, it is usually an event to honour Prof. Serge Haroche, Nobel Prize in Physics 2012, for his excellent and pioneering contributions to the sector of quantum physics. Prof. Haroche is the nineteenth Nobel Laureate to go to Gia Lai Province and ICISE for the reason that centre formally started its operation in 2013.
In addition to Prof. Haroche, the convention additionally options shows by many of the world’s main audio system, notably: Prof. Hans Bachor (Australian National University, Australia), Prof. John Doyle (Harvard University, USA), Prof. Alberto Bramati (Sorbonne University, France and National University of Singapore, Singapore), Prof. Michel Brune (Collège de France, France), Prof. Arno Rauschenbeutel (Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany), Prof. Vahid Sandoghdar (Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light, Germany), Prof. Claude Weisbuch (École Polytechnique, France), Dr. Michele Leduc (French National Center for Scientific Research – CNRS, France), together with many different distinguished scientists.
The convention options over 40 scientific shows overlaying a variety of subjects, together with: quantum optics, quantum communication and quantum computation; subjects the place condensed matter, atomic physics and chemical physics overlap; excessive precision experiments involving spectroscopy and metrology; chilly atoms and simulation of supplies; concept and strategies in quantum mechanics; quantum excessive power physics and cosmology; and quantum applied sciences and power manufacturing.
In the lead-up to the convention, a specialised workshop was held for analysis fellows and younger scientists on Tuesday, aimed toward offering foundational information and an outline of superior subjects in the sector.
Leading French quantum physicist Professor Claude Weisbuch from École Polytechnique (Paris) delivered a lecture on Foundations of Excitonic Polaritons on Tuesday on the pre-conference workshop celebrating 100 Years of Quantum Physics at ICISE. His speak referenced a number of publications by the late Professor and Academician Nguyễn Văn Hiệu, a extremely revered and achieved Vietnamese scientist.
Professor Weisbuch holds over 40 expertise patents, many of that are at the moment being utilized in the manufacturing of superior gadgets by means of his personal tech startup.
Alongside this, the convention additionally seeks to strengthen connections between main worldwide scientists and the rising technology of researchers from Việt Nam and world wide, laying the groundwork for brand new analysis instructions and scientific collaborations.
During the convention, analysis fellows and younger scientists can have the chance to current their analysis findings and obtain direct knowledgeable suggestions from prime worldwide scientists. In addition, roundtable discussions can be organised to foster open tutorial change, unfold new concepts, form shared analysis agendas, and promote collaborative initiatives between Vietnamese and worldwide laboratories.
Over the previous century, atomic physics and quantum mechanics have advanced facet by facet, complementing and propelling one another ahead, sparking quite a few revolutions in human understanding and technological purposes. Experimental analysis into the interplay between gentle and atoms, particularly for the reason that introduction of the laser greater than 60 years in the past, has positioned this subject on the coronary heart of many Nobel Prizes and paved the way in which for the quantum expertise period that humanity is now getting into.
