For undergraduate and postgraduate students in science and engineering. A two-day introduction to astronomy: from planets and stars to galaxies and cosmology. Learn how astronomers explore the universe using telescopes, data analysis, simulations, and modern AI tools. Sessions will be lecture-based with active discussion and Q&A. Ideal for students with limited access to formal astronomy courses. Open to mostly undergraduate students with limited seats for postgraduates.
The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to John Clarke, Michel H. Devoret, and John M. Martinis "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit". The three formed a team comprising a professor, a postdoctoral researcher, and a graduate student at the time their groundbreaking experiments were performed. In this talk, I will present an overview of the macroscopic quantum tunnelling experiments using Josephson junctions. I will also highlight how an effort to answer a fundamental question in physics ultimately laid the foundation for today’s large-scale quantum processors based on superconducting qubits.
Join us for the Weekly Seminar Series at the Department of Physics, held Thursday at 15:30 hrs. Each session features expert speakers discussing the latest research, innovations, and trends in their respective field. Open to students, faculty, and researchers, these seminars foster learning, collaboration, and insightful discussions.
On February 28, 2025, we celebrated National Science Day with enthusiasm and curiosity. The event honored Sir C.V. Raman and his groundbreaking discovery of the Raman Effect. Engaging talks, exhibitions, and interactive sessions showcased scientific advancements. Students and researchers participated in discussions, experiments, and competitions. The day inspired a spirit of scientific inquiry and innovation among all attendees.
