100 Years of S N Bose’s Work & Quantum Mechanics

1. On February 4, Eminent physicist SN Bose was remembered on his 50th death anniversary. He along with Meghnad Saha, established modern theoretical physics in India.
2. Satyendra Nath Bose’s pioneering work in 1924 on quantum statistics has paved the way for development of modern quantum technologies including Bose-Einstein condensation, quantum superconductivity, and quantum information theory.

Contributions in the field of Sciences

1. Made significant advances in statistical mechanics and Quantum statistics.
2. Deduced Planck’s Black body radiation law without any reference to classical electrodynamics.

Celebration of S N Bose's Contributions:

1. The scientific community recently celebrated 100 years of Satyendra Nath Bose’s last publication, which significantly contributed to the development of quantum mechanics. This celebration took place at the International Conference on Photonics, Quantum Information, and Quantum Communication in Kolkata.

Quantum Mechanics Evolution:

1. Professor Sood highlighted the ongoing second revolution in Quantum Mechanics, emphasizing the importance of research in quantum sensing, quantum communications, and cryptography.
2. With a budget of 750 million USD, the initiative aims to address solvable problems with wide applications.

India's Role in Quantum Science:

1. India, among 23 countries, is significantly contributing to the global quantum missions, focusing on quantum algorithms.
2. The National Quantum Mission (NQM) in India aims for international collaboration, establishing 4 mission hubs to accelerate quantum science and technology development.

Year Long Celebrations:

1. The S N Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences organizes year long celebrations, including international conferences and outreach programs, to honor S N Bose’s work.

Legacy of S N Bose:

1. Satyendra Nath Bose, along with Albert Einstein, developed the Bose-Einstein statistics and predicted the Bose-Einstein condensate, fundamental to modern quantum technologies.
2. Bose's work laid the foundation for the standard model of physics, enhancing our understanding of fundamental particles and fostering scientific collaboration.

Recognitions:

1. Bose was awarded the Padma Vibhushan in 1954 and is remembered for his important role in establishing modern theoretical physics in India. Fundamental particles with integer spin are named "Bosons" in his honor.
2. Rabindranath Tagore dedicated his only book on science ‘Vishwa Parichay’ to SN Bose.
3. Became Vice-Chancellor of the Visva-Bharati during 1956-58.

This shows the historical significance and contemporary relevance of Bose's work in quantum mechanics, celebrating a century of his contributions and the evolving landscape of quantum science, both in India and globally.
