Professor Serge Haroche, winner of the 2012 Nobel Prize for Physics, speaking at the Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence, Delhi-NCR, said, "Although physicists worldwide are trying very hard, we are very far from having a quantum computer. However, what will undoubtedly happen is finding new applications of quantum technology, some of which will be more surprising. Once we deeply understand quantum complexities and entanglement, we can discover more applications that we are not dreaming about today. We should keep ourselves open to all surprises. We can never accurately predict the future because if we do, we are limiting our research."

Professor Haroche spoke at the Institution as part of a lecture series organized by the Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research (CEFIPRA).

In her welcome address, Dr. Ananya Mukherjee, Vice-Chancellor, Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence, said that the event marks a special day in the life of the University.

"Research is the backbone of our Institution, and we aspire to produce research that changes the world and fosters an excitement that is powerful and enduring. Research is integrally built into our curriculum. We are privileged to have a research infrastructure in the global south, and we are adding to that infrastructure every day to expand an exceptional research environment. As an Institution of Eminence designated by the Government of India, we wish to engage in the country's research priorities actively," said Dr. Mukherjee.

Explaining the origins of quantum research, Professor Haroche recalled how the association between Albert Einstein and Indian scientist Satyendra Nath Bose precisely a century ago, in 1923, helped Einstein develop the Bose-Einstein statistics, which has been the cornerstone of quantum research. "This explains the connection between basic and applied science. What Bose-Einstein statistics explained later gave rise to a new field of physics called atomic interferometry."

Quashing the hype around the so-called 'Second Quantum Revolution,' Professor Haroche said, "It is time we focus on our research and not over-publicizing it because we can rarely predict what the future holds. All we know about is that we need to pursue basic science relentlessly. We must be motivated by our curiosity. The applications emerging several years later will undoubtedly surprise us."

Earlier addressing the audience, Dr. Didier Raboisson, Attaché for Scientific Cooperation, Embassy of France in India, said, "CEFIPRA offers €4 million for research between India and France, and we also have a grant of €1.7 million to support student mobility from India to France." He encouraged students and faculty from Indian universities to explore these options for collaborative research.

"Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence is a young university demonstrating a strong passion for teaching and research. We are delighted to host this lecture here," said Dr. Nitin Seth, Director of CEFIPRA, in his introductory remarks.

In his introduction to Professor Haroche, Dr. Sanjeev Galande, Dean of School of Natural Sciences, said, "When it comes to the minute components of the universe, one's usual understanding of how the world works ceases to exist. For a long time, many quantum phenomena could only be observed theoretically. In the 1980s, Professor Serge Haroche designed experiments to study quantum phenomena when matter and light interact. Professor Haroche is a man who followed his dream. With his elementary knowledge of calculus as a child, he could compute complex problems. The astonishing fact that nature follows mathematical laws and the mysterious beauties of the quantum world inspired the child in Professor Haroche to become a quantum physicist."

The Nobel laureate's lecture was followed by a panel discussion with three leading quantum physicists in India: Professor Urbasi Sinha of the Raman Research Institute, Bengaluru; Professor Umakant Rapol, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune; and Professor Rajamani Vijayaraghavan of the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. Dr. Subhra Sen Gupta of the Department of Physics at the Shiv Nadar Institution of Eminence moderated the talk. Professor Haroche expressed his appreciation for the work being done in India and the passion with which the scientists spoke about their work.

Signing off, the Nobel Laureate said, "Collaborations are very important, and they should be developed bottom-up – scientists should organically grow their interests. There is much scope for Indo-French cooperation in quantum technology and many other research fields."

The lecture was attended by approximately 600 people from all over Delhi-NCR.

The Metaverse is the next iteration of the internet: a single, shared, persistent, immersive, 3D virtual space where humans experience life in ways they could not in the physical world. The Supplierthon will empower applicants to bring their innovative and visionary ideas for the Metaverse to life. Experts from the BMW Group have identified challenges in three different areas (for details see below): Vehicle ReadinessIn-Car Experience and Virtual Ecosystems. The BMW Group believes that virtual experiences could make a significant difference by strengthening the entire customer experience and the product substance and could have an impact on the whole automotive industry in the future.

Registration has begun and the first deadline for submission is March 15, 2023. The ideas that are submitted will be examined and judged by a panel of experts who will select the finalists. They will proceed to the second round, where the ideas will be developed further to produce real business solutions by May 10, 2023. The second round will end with a pitch event where the finalists will present their solutions to a panel of experts before the winners are selected on May 24, 2023. The winners will have the opportunity to partner with the BMW Group and will also be involved in the implementation of pilot projects.

The BMW Group is a pioneer when it comes to virtualization and is now taking one step further

The Supplierthon for the "Metaverse and other Virtual Experiences" highlights the fact that the BMW Group is playing a leading role in efforts to bring the next level of digitalized human interaction to life. The BMW Group is generating value by consistently developing greater interaction and more immersive experiences using XR1 and Web 3.0, building on a vivid landscape of use cases, some of which are already connected, along the entire value chain. To ensure that its solution is coherent, the BMW Group is currently developing a strategic, centralized Metaverse Platform.

In December 2022, the company became one of the first automotive manufacturers to join the Metaverse Standards Forum. The company takes a holistic approach across three strategic dimensions: a Corporate Metaverse, a Commercial Metaverse and an In-Car Metaverse, as recently demonstrated by the BMW i Vision Dee vehicle and its Mixed Reality Slider, which was presented at the CES in Las Vegas. The Metaverse Supplierthon will focus only on in-car use cases.

"From our perspective, our industry is in the process of a step by step transformation, shifting human experiences into a virtual world driven by the metaverse." says Rudi Bencker, Senior Vice President Global Research, Tech Offices and Development Cooperations.
