Through expert lectures, interactive discussions and hands-on sessions participants will gain comprehensive insights of the fundamental principles of quantum information processing, including quantum bits (qubits), quantum gates, quantum algorithms, quantum communication, and quantum computing architectures. In addition to this, workshop will further highlight the transformative applications of quantum information processing across diverse domains such as cryptography, optimization, artificial intelligence, advanced materials, and quantum-enabled technologies. Serving as a capacity-building platform for UG, PG, and PhD aspirants, the programme will expose participants to emerging research opportunities in quantum science and technology, higher education, national research laboratories, and quantum-driven industries. By promoting interdisciplinary learning and fostering awareness of next-generation quantum technologies, the workshop aims to prepare participants for academic and professional careers in the rapidly advancing quantum era.</p> <h2 id="speakers" tabindex="-1">Speakers</h2> <a class="header-anchor" href="https://www.imsc.res.in/outreach/events/off-campus/2026/quantum-information-processing-workshop.html#speakers" aria-label="Permalink to “Speakers”">#</a><ul> <li> <p><strong>Dr. Sibasish Ghosh</strong><br /> Professor, IMSc, Chennai</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Dr. Sivakumar Srinivasan</strong><br /> Professor, KREA University, Andhra Pradesh</p> </li> <li> <p><strong>Dr. Shrikant Utagi</strong><br /> Assistant Professor, Department of CSE, RV University, Bengaluru</p> </li> </ul> <hr /> <h3 id="organizing-committee" tabindex="-1">Organizing Committee</h3> <a class="header-anchor" href="https://www.imsc.res.in/outreach/events/off-campus/2026/quantum-information-processing-workshop.html#organizing-committee" aria-label="Permalink to “Organizing Committee”">#</a><ul> <li> <p><strong>Chief Patron:</strong><br /> <strong>Sri.

Their extreme environment may harbour the presence of hypothetical strange subatomic particles that are conjectured by the standard model of particle physics. Astrophysical observations with telescopes across multiple frequencies have not been able to resolve the long-standing puzzle of its interior composition. The recent discovery of gravitational waves has unveiled a novel window, allowing us to listen to the invisible Universe.

Subtle differences during development like maternal stress and nutrition can contribute to behavioural tendencies later in life. By performing behavioural assays on tiny tropical fish at different stages of development, we established that some individuals are more resilient to stress than others from early on in life. Further, resilience is a stable and heritable trait, whereby resilient individuals stay thus as they grow and their offspring have a greater likelihood of being resilient. Finally, we discovered that the immune system plays an unlikely role in regulating resilience. Taking this forward, not only do immune factors regulate resilience, we find that they may also regulate sleep. Put together, I will discuss how the immune system has a role beyond fighting infections in setting up our behaviour in early life.</p> <p><em><a href="https://www.iisertvm.ac.in/faculty/amrutha">Amrutha Swaminathan</a> received her PhD from JNCASR, Bangalore supported by a fellowship from the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research.

The core of the project would be in the form of Learning Units that can be part of science circles for interested students. These units will be closely related to the school curricula, but would expose students to dimensions of science and mathematics beyond the textbooks.</p> <p>Homi Bhabha Center for Science Education (HBCSE) has been assigned the academic leadership of the program. The Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc) will serve as a regional center for the program.</p> <p>IMSc, as a regional partner, has been hosting the Chennai region workshop for Vigyan Pratibha for the past 2 years. Since February, we have been involved in organizing weekly teachers session along with HBCSE.</p> <p>This is the 3rd edition of IMSc's Vigyan Pratibha regional teachers workshop and the 1st workshop in Tamil.</p> <p>The workshop is aimed at mathematics and science teachers of classes VIII - X.</p> <p>The workshop is free and will be conducted on an online platform.</p> <h2 id="schedule" tabindex="-1">Schedule</h2> <a class="header-anchor" href="https://www.imsc.res.in/outreach/events/vigyan-pratibha/2020/InitialWorkshop/#schedule" aria-label="Permalink to “Schedule”">#</a><h3 id="23-december" tabindex="-1">23 December</h3> <a class="header-anchor" href="https://www.imsc.res.in/outreach/events/vigyan-pratibha/2020/InitialWorkshop/#23-december" aria-label="Permalink to “23 December”">#</a><table> <thead> <tr> <th>Time (IST)</th> <th>Session</th> <th>Speaker / Notes</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>10:00–11:00</td> <td><strong>Learning science during the COVID pandemic</strong></td> <td>R.
