Guest Lecture Organized under the Aegis of IAPT RC-6
DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS
IIS (Deemed to be University), Jaipur
Date: 1st February 2025
Venue: AV Hall, IIS (deemed to be University)
Time: 1:00 PM onwards
The Department of Physics , IIS (deemed to be University), Jaipur, in collaboration with the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT) Regional Council 6, organized a guest lecture on 1st February 2025 as announced by the United Nations on account of 100 years of Quantum mechanics to raise public awareness of the importance and impact of Quantum Science and Applications in all aspects of life.. The academic event was conducted in the AV Hall of the university and commenced at 1:00 PM with a gathering of enthusiastic students and faculty members. The lecture was delivered by the distinguished academician Dr. Natthi Lal Sharma, Former Professor, Eastern Michigan University, Michigan, USA. He is widely known for his contributions to the field of quantum physics and has an illustrious academic and research background. Prof. Sharma got his M. Sc. From Univ. Of Indore in 1967 and Ph. D from Ohio University, USA in 1982. He taught 10 years at University. of Rajasthan from 1968 to 78 and 33 years from 1987 to 2019 at Eastern Michigan University. His latest research interest are in electrodynamics and quantum optics. He has delivered several motivational talks and demonstrations.
The United Nations has declared 2025 as the “International Year of Quantum Science and
Technology” (IYQ) with a mission to use the occasion of 100 years of Quantum Mechanics to raise public awareness of the importance and impact of quantum science and applications in all aspects of life.
The topic of the lecture was: "Quantum Superposition, Entanglement, Bell's Inequalities and Applications" The session began with a formal welcome address by , followed by a brief introduction of Dr. Sharma and his achievements in the field of physics. Dr. Sharma commenced the lecture by providing a historical overview of quantum mechanics and its philosophical implications. He then explored the core concepts of Quantum superposition and entanglement, illustrating their significance through classic experiments and mathematical formulations
The discussion progressed into the domain of Bell’s Inequalities, where Dr. Sharma elaborated on how these inequalities test the validity of local hidden variable theories against quantum mechanics. He used illustrative examples and graphical representations to help students visualize abstract quantum phenomena.
Towards the end of the lecture, Dr. Sharma spoke about the modern-day applications of quantum theory, including its implications in quantum computing, cryptography, and quantum communication. He also addressed several queries raised by the audience, making the session interactive and intellectually stimulating.
The event saw active participation from undergraduate, postgraduate students & research scholars, as well as faculty members from various science departments. The lecture was highly appreciated for its clarity, depth, and the ability to engage a diverse academic audience.
Advisor Prof. K.S. Sharma and Prof. Y.K. Vijay Director ,Centre for innovation in Science Teaching took the opportunity to felicitate Dr. Nathi Lal Sharma, acknowledging his significant contributions to the academic fraternity. The event reflected a deep sense of mutual respect and recognition, reinforcing the values of collaboration and excellence in education.
A highlight of the gathering was an inspiring speech delivered by Professor K.S. Sharma, who motivated and encouraged students to pursue excellence in their academic journeys. His words resonated deeply with the audience, instilling a sense of enthusiasm and determination among young scholars.
In a special segment of the event, all teachers who recently became members of the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT) were felicitated, recognizing their commitment to the academic community and their dedication to the advancement of physics education. This gesture fostered a sense of camaraderie and appreciation among faculty members.
The session concluded with a formal vote of thanks , expressing gratitude to Dr. Natthi Lal Sharma for his time and for sharing his valuable knowledge. Appreciation was also extended to IAPT RC-6 for their continued support and collaboration in organizing such enriching academic activities. The guest lecture was a great success and provided the students with a deeper understanding of complex quantum concepts and their practical relevance in modern science and technology.
