INTEGRATED QUANTUM PHOTONICS

Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers (IETE) organized 20th Sir C V Raman Memorial Lecture on “Integrated Quantum Photonics” on 26th February 2016 at Delton Hall, IETE New Delhi. Mr. Ashish Gambhir, Assistant Professor, ECE Department from Dronacharya College of Engineering, Gurgaon attended the lecture.

The purpose of this lecture was to create awareness and equip the participants with advanced knowledge about the security of data transmission through internet by using the Quantum Technology. 40 participants of different Industry and Colleges participated in this program.

The session was inaugurated by the Chief Guest & Speaker Prof. K. Thyagarajan (Officiating Director, IIT Delhi) by lighting of lamp which also saw the presence of Brig. Lakshman Singh (Vice President, IETE), and Maj. Gen. P. K. Jaggia (Secretary General, IETE).

After the inaugural ceremony, session started with the welcome address. Prof. K. Thyagarajan started the session on “Integrated Quantum Photonics”.During his lecture Prof. Thyagarajan covered the following topics and emphasized its application in current scenario:

1. Quantum Photonics & its application

2. Quantum Cryptography
