Undergraduate Students at Madras University to Tackle Quantum Computing Research | Chennai News

Chennai: College students of University of Madras‘s new undergraduate programme will do analysis of their closing yr in cutting-edge areas, together with quantum computing, quantum gravity, computational condensed matter and different superior analysis areas.
In 2022-23, College of Madras began a BSc (Blended) Science programme, a research-oriented and interdisciplinary diploma, in partnership with College of Melbourne in Australia.
“These college students will choose the subject, do the analysis and publish analysis papers in reputed journals of their closing yr,” stated Rita John, head, division of theoretical physics, College of Madras and coordinator for the BSc (Blended) Science programme.

College from College of Madras and College of Melbourne will information college students on doing analysis in cutting-edge subjects.
Just lately, 4 college students of BSc (Blended) Science visited College of Melbourne for a camp to interact with famend scientists and analysis laboratories.
The scholars visited the IBM Quantum Community Hub, superior accelerator laboratories, and met the astrophysics analysis group.
“The go to to Melbourne was useful to study cutting-edge analysis. A professor within the College of Melbourne is occupied with mentoring me in quantum gravity analysis,” stated Poopathysankar P, a final-year pupil.
S Aishwarya Lakshmi, one other pupil, is occupied with finding out quantum machine studying. “It is a new and creating discipline the place quantum computing meets machine studying,” she stated.
Within the first two years of this programme, college students studied physics, chemistry, arithmetic and biology topics. Within the third yr, they’ll both select physics, chemistry or arithmetic for specialisation.
