Celebrating World Quantum Day: The Birth of Quantum Mechanics and Its Applications

NDO - On April 14th, in Hanoi, the Center for Scientific Data and Information (Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology) collaborated with the Vietnam Physical Society to organize the second session of a series of public lectures on quantum science and technology with the theme "The Birth of Quantum Mechanics and its Applications". This activity commemorates World Quantum Day (April 14th), celebrates the 100th anniversary of quantum mechanics, and the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology 2025.

The event was attended by representatives from the Vietnam Physical Society, the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology, Hanoi National University, and a large number of science enthusiasts and members of the research community.

With the theme "The Birth of Quantum Mechanics and its Applications," the program consists of three lectures: Lecture 1: "The Beginnings of Quantum Mechanics, Uncertainty Principle, Tunneling Effect, and Pauli Principle" presented by Professor, Dr. Dao Tien Khoa, Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute.

Lecture No. 2: "Quantum Physics of the 21st Century: From Quantum Computing and Information to Molecular Biopharmaceutical Systems" by Professor, Dr. Nguyen The Toan, Head of the Department of Physics, Director of the Key Laboratory of Ratio Calculation for Complex Systems, Faculty of Science, Vietnam National University, Hanoi .

Lecture #3: "From Fundamental Research to Quantum Component Design" by Professor, Dr. Do Van Nam, Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies (PIAS), Phenikaa University.

Professor, Dr. Nguyen The Toan, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, was the second speaker participating in the presentation.

The lectures are in-depth yet accessible, offering a multifaceted perspective on the development of quantum physics, from its theoretical foundations to modern applications.

In the lecture "The Beginning of Quantum Mechanics, Uncertainty Principle, Tunneling Effect, and Pauli Principle" by Professor, Dr. Dao Tien Khoa, Vietnam Atomic Energy Institute, the lecture begins with fundamental concepts such as the uncertainty principle, tunneling effect, and Pauli exclusion principle, helping listeners better visualize the first "building blocks" in the edifice of quantum physics and the formation of quantum mechanics, thereby enabling them to easily enter the basics of quantum physics.

In lecture number 2 by Professor, Dr. Nguyen The Toan (Faculty of Natural Sciences, Vietnam National University, Hanoi), everyone gained a better understanding of some fundamental and philosophical issues related to new concepts of quantum mechanics, uncertainty, etc., which are quite different from classical principles.

In addition, the lecture content also delves into the future of quantum physics in the 21st century, where quantum computing, quantum communication, and molecular biology are becoming increasingly intertwined.

In lecture number 3, Professor, Dr. Do Van Nam (Phenikaa University) shared his journey from basic research to the design of quantum components - the technological foundation for the next generation of electronic devices.

In this presentation, Professor and Doctor Do Van Nam focuses on the main aspects of humanity's journey over time; from initial fundamental research to groundbreaking studies in quantum theory that are immediately applied to daily life, such as the discovery of semiconductors and the design and manufacture of electronic components used in most machines…

Professor, Dr. Do Van Nam, Phenikaa University, was the third speaker participating in the presentation.

Through this series of lectures, the organizers hope to contribute to spreading the spirit of love for science, connecting young generations of researchers with fundamental knowledge, and enhancing public understanding of the advancements shaping the future of global technology.

At the same time, it emphasizes the importance of basic research and the need to continue developing applications of quantum technology in the future, especially in the context of modern nanotechnology and 2D materials.
