Dear All,
Sub: Lecture by Prof.
Subir Sachdev, Herchel Smith Professor of Physics at Harvard University – Reg.
IIT Madras is organizing
the Eminent Speaker Lecture Series on 7th January 2025 from 3.30 pm onwards, at
the Anna Centenary Auditorium, Chennai.
The lecture will feature
Prof. Subir Sachdev, the Herchel Smith Professor of Physics at Harvard
University and a distinguished recipient of the Dirac Medal and Onsager Prize.
The lecture, titled
"100 Years of Quantum Mechanics: From Bose and Einstein to Superconductors
and Black Holes," will be held on 7th January 2025, from 3:30 P.M.
onwards, at the Anna Centenary Auditorium, Chennai.
This lecture will delve
into the transformative ideas and manifestations of “quantum entanglement” that
have defined quantum mechanics over the past century. He will walk us through
an exploration of the surprisingly intimate and beautiful connections between
objects as distinct as black holes, strange metals and superconductors. His
talk will be an exciting journey bridging the worlds of theoretical physics and
profound real-world applications.

About the Speaker
Prof. Subir Sachdev,
Herchel Smith Professor of Physics at Harvard University, is one of the most
illustrious and distinguished researchers in physics and a leading authority of
our time.
In a career spanning over
three decades, he has made profound contributions in many areas of theoretical
physics, most notably pioneering our understanding of quantum phase
transitions, strange metals and superconductors, black holes, and most
remarkably, establishing a deep and unexpected connection between these myriad
realizations of quantum entanglement through what is now called as the
Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model.
Prof. Sachdev's
groundbreaking research connects quantum field theory, string theory, and black
holes to reveal the fundamental behavior of quantum materials.
Note:
• Registration in advance is compulsory for all participants.
• We kindly request all attendees to arrive at the venue no
later than 3. P.M.
• Seating is limited and will be allocated on a first-come,
first-served basis.
