On October 7, the Vietnam Rencontres du Sciences Association and the International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE) coordinated with the International Organizing Committee to organize the International Conference "100 Years of Quantum Physics."
This is a scientific event responding to the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) initiative announced by the United Nations on June 7, 2024 on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the formation and development of quantum science.
The conference is an opportunity to honor Professor Serge Haroche, Nobel Prize winner in Physics 2012, who has made outstanding contributions to the field of Quantum Physics. He is also the 19th Nobel Professor to come to Gia Lai province and ICISE Center since the center started operating in 2013.
The conference gathered more than 80 professors, scientists, and researchers from 14 countries around the world, along with the participation of 60 excellent students majoring in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology from three specialized high schools in the region.
Delegates listened to scientific reports on: quantum optics, quantum communication and quantum computation; intersections between condensed matter physics, atomic physics and chemical physics; high-precision experiments in spectroscopy and measurement; cold atoms and material simulation; theories and methods in quantum mechanics; quantum high-energy physics and cosmology; quantum technology and applications in energy production...
At the conference, graduate students and young scientists presented their research results and received direct feedback from leading international scientists.
The roundtable discussions created an open space for academic exchange, spread new ideas, formed common research directions, and promoted the development of cooperative projects between Vietnamese and international laboratories.
Professor Nguyen Quang Liem, President of the Vietnam Physics Association, said that quantum science originated as a bold turning point away from classical thinking, clearly taking shape in the early 20th century, especially since the birth of Quantum Theory exactly a century ago, shaped by the groundbreaking contributions of Nobel Prize-winning physicists such as Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Louis de Broglie, Heisenberg, Born, Schrödinger, Dirac and many other predecessors.
Quantum science has challenged human intuition, redefined our understanding of nature, and opened the foundation for modern technologies—from semiconductors to quantum computers.
The conference is a vivid demonstration of the power of international cooperation, demonstrating the enormous potential of quantum science in serving the common good of humanity.
Prior to the conference, a thematic orientation for graduate students and young scientists was held to provide basic knowledge and an overview of many specialized topics; strengthen the connection between leading international scientists and young Vietnamese scientists, creating a foundation for new research directions and scientific cooperation.
Through the conference, Vice Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee Lam Hai Giang called for and hoped to receive cooperation from leading experts and scientists in the fields of quantum and semiconductors.
The province hopes to train, research and transfer knowledge through the ICISE Center and provincial universities, contributing to improving the quality of human resources in the province and contributing to the overall development in the process of global science and technology integration.
Gia Lai always considers science and education as the core foundation for innovation and sustainable development. The province is committed to continuing to accompany and create favorable conditions for the ICISE Center to further promote its role as a knowledge nucleus.
The province aims to build centers for research, transfer and application of advanced science and technology, in order to resonate and benefit from valuable knowledge sources from scientists, making practical contributions to the development of science and technology in Vietnam.
Over the past century, Atomic Physics and Quantum Mechanics have gone hand in hand, complementing and promoting each other, opening up many revolutions in human perception and technological applications.
Experiments studying the interaction between light and atoms, especially since the invention of the laser more than 60 years ago, have made this field the center of many Nobel Prizes, paving the way for today's quantum technology era./.
