In a captivating exploration of the wonders of quantum mechanics, a six-day workshop entitled “Alice in the Quantum Land” is being organized online and on-campus mode by the PG Department of Physics, Kanya Maha Vidyalaya, Jalandhar. The workshop, held in collaboration with the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT), is scheduled from April 9 to April 14.

This unique workshop aims to unravel the mysteries of quantum mechanics and its applications in various fields. Participants will embark on a journey through the fascinating realm of quantum physics, guided by esteemed experts and researchers in the field. On an inaugural day, Prof. P K. Ahluwalia, Président IAPT, and Prof. KN Joshipura from Sardar Patel University Gujarat addressed the students of Kanya Maha Vidyalaya in the campus about the basics of quantum Mechanics including the wave-particle duality, quantum dots, and artificial atoms. He emphasized the potential of these advancements to revolutionize computing, sensing, and communication systems. The experts’ talk provided valuable insights into the cutting-edge research on designed quantum dots and artificial atoms. His comprehensive overview, enriched with theoretical explanations and practical considerations, offered a clear perspective on the current advancements and prospects in the field of quantum physics. The event concluded with a lively Q&A session, allowing attendees to engage with experts and delve deeper into the fascinating world of quantum mechanics and nanotechnology.

On the second day, Prof. Jaswinder Singh Shiksha Ratan Awardee, Educational Professional, Science Communicator and Innovator Jaswins lab on Wheels, addressed  students of Sanskriti KMV, Nehru Garden, Junior model school, Jalandhar.  Prof. Singh, known for his passion for science and commitment to education, has dedicated decades to inspiring young minds and promoting scientific literacy. His innovative project, “Jaswins Lab on Wheels,” exemplifies his visionary approach to education and outreach. He performed hands-on science experiments which makes science accessible and engaging for learners of all ages and backgrounds. The interactive nature of the session encouraged students, allowing them to engage with Prof. Singh, ask questions, and gain valuable insights into the practical applications of physics principles.

Principal Prof. Atima Sharma Dwivedi referred quantum mechanics as an incredibly captivating field with profound implications for the future. Our understanding of quantum mechanics is pivotal as the cornerstone of emerging technologies. I am dedicated to ensuring my students grasp its intricacies and gain insights into its wide-ranging applications.
