This is part of its efforts to popularize science to the general public and students who are pursuing science as their career. TNSF attempt to focus on students on higher science as everyone knows that learning of science at college within the curriculum is not enough to acquire holistic knowledge of science at the appropriate time. Hence, to fill the gap between what students are acquiring through the curriculum and what it is required, TNSF is planning its activities on higher science to students who are pursuing higher education.
How entanglement has become a powerful tool? Using groundbreaking experiments, Alain Aspect, John Clauser and Anton Zeilinger have demonstrated the potential to investigate and control particles that are in entangled states. What happens to one particle in an entangled pair determines what happens to the other, even if they are really too far apart to affect each other. The laureates’ development of experimental tools has laid the foundation for a new era of quantum technology.

Q & A
Prof. Sibasish Ghosh After completion of Ph.D. work in the Physics and Applied Mathematics Unit (PAMU) of ISI-Kolkata, he spent six months (during middle of the year 2001 to the beginning of 2002) at the Univ. of California, Los Angeles (Electrical Engineering Department as a Visiting Researcher (in the group of Prof. Vwani Roychowdhury). Thereafter, he spent about a year in PAMU as an NBHM post-doctoral fellow, before joining (in March, 2003) The Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), Chennai as a post-doctoral fellow in the Theoretical Physics group. In April, 2004 he joined as a post-doctoral fellow in the Computer Science department of the University of York, United Kingdom (in the group of Prof. Samuel Braunstein). He joined IMSc as a faculty in the Theoretical Physics group in July, 2006, and have been there in IMSc till then. Currently he is a professor. Research interests: Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Information Theory, Open Quantum Systems, Quantum Thermodynamics, and a bit of Quantum Optic
