 AMU Organises Colloquium on “2025 Nobel Prize in Physics”

ALIGARH, February 14: As part of the ongoing National Science Day celebrations, the Department of Physics, Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), organised a special colloquium on the theme “2025 Nobel Prize in Physics” at the Conference Hall of the Department.

On the occasion, Prof. S. S. Z. Ashraf, Department of Physics, delivered a lecture titled “Macroscopic Yet Quantum: Superconducting Circuits and the 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics.” In his presentation, he traced the historical evolution of quantum mechanics and explained the foundational concept of quantum mechanical tunnelling.

Prof. Ashraf elaborated on how the Nobel laureates employed superconducting electrical circuits to experimentally demonstrate macroscopic quantum tunnelling and discrete energy quantization in systems sufficiently large to be fabricated and manipulated directly. He highlighted the significance of these breakthroughs in bridging the gap between microscopic quantum phenomena and macroscopic physical systems.

A large number of faculty members, research scholars, and undergraduate and postgraduate students attended the session.
