Brief History of the Workshop

The Second National workshop is based on the success of First Two Days Workshop On “Quantum Mechanics: Theory and Application held during November 21-22, 2008. The workshop was organized by Forum for Interdisciplinary Application in Sciences, (FiDAS), Deen Dayal Upadhyaya College, University of Delhi, New Delhi and Sponsored by Delhi Chapter of the National Academy of Sciences, India and Supported by Macmillan India Ltd.

The workshop was inaugurated by Professor Shri Krishna Joshi, FNA, FNASc, FTWAS, JNCASR Vikram Sarabhai Professor, National Physical Laboratory, New Delhi, India. His spell bound inaugural lecture, covering historical development in the field of development of quantum mechanics, was widely appreciated by the participants.

 

Following eminent dignitaries from India and Abroad appreciated the efforts of the organizers by sending messages (via e-mail/ post) for the workshop:

Course Description: Quantum Mechanics is one of the most fascinating subjects to study and has revolutionized the development of science. Today an understanding of basic principles of Quantum Mechanics is absolutely necessary to understand quantum electronics, quantum computing, astrophysics, solid state physics, nanotechnology, nuclear physics, and many other diverse areas.

 

The lectures would cover: Basic mathematical preliminaries, wave particle duality, Schrödinger equation and its solutions to many problems of practical interest, Dirac’s bra - ket algebra, the angular momentum problem, the Stern Gerlach and magnetic resonance experiments. A software to understand basic concepts in quantum mechanics will also be demonstrated. Applications of Quantum Mechanics in Nanoelectronics and Optical Computing will also be discussed. There will be a total of 12 lectures in 2 days

 

Sponsors: The workshop is being sponsored by CSIR, NASI, IEEE EDS & a personal grant from Dr Ramadas Pillai, President, Nuphoton Technologies, USA.
