On October 7, the Vietnam Rencontres du Sciences Association and the International Center for Interdisciplinary Science and Education (ICISE, in Quy Nhon, Gia Lai) organized an international conference on 100 years of quantum physics.

The conference was attended by more than 80 professors, scientists and researchers from 14 countries. In addition, there were 60 excellent students majoring in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology from three specialized high schools in the region.

In particular, the conference was attended and reported by Professor Serge Haroche, Nobel Prize in Physics 2012, who has many outstanding contributions to the field of quantum physics.

According to the organizers, the event is an opportunity for the scientific community to look back on a brilliant century of quantum physics.

The foundation for quantum technology is predicted to create the next scientific and technological revolution for humanity after artificial intelligence (AI).

The conference presented more than 40 scientific reports on the topics: Quantum optics, quantum communication and quantum computation; Interactions between condensed matter physics, atomic physics and chemical physics;

High precision experiments in spectroscopy and metrology; Cold atoms and materials simulation; Theory and methods in quantum mechanics; Quantum high energy physics and cosmology; Quantum technology and applications in energy production.

In his report, Professor Serge Haroche said that quantum physics was born 100 years ago with the groundbreaking contributions of Heisenberg and Schrodinger, and has changed human life through a series of inventions such as transistors, lasers, GPS, mobile phones, MRI...

The Nobel physicist said that knowledge of quantum physics was gained through fundamental research, driven by the curiosity of scientists wanting to understand nature, without setting any specific practical goals.

This is how scientific research works – basic science is fertile ground for applications to arise in completely unexpected ways. This has been true of discoveries in the past and will continue to be true in the future.

According to the organizers, 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 application.

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 the quantum technology era that humanity is entering today.
