As we mark a century since the discovery of quantum mechanics, the Bhaktivedanta Institute is happy to organize Quantum Week as part of its Golden Jubilee Celebrations. It invites scholars, students, and seekers to reflect on the scientific and philosophical depths of this remarkable theory.

The program will feature distinguished scientists and scholars from leading institutions across India and abroad, engaging in interdisciplinary dialogues that span physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, neuroscience, and consciousness studies. The Distinguised speakers are Prof. Anthony Leggett, Nobel Laureate in Physics; University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA; Dr. Timothy E. Eastman, (Formerly) Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska, USA; Robert J. Sunderland, Niels Bohr Archive, Copenhagen, Denmark; Prof. Alfred Driessen, University of Twente, Netherlands; Prof. Antoine Suarez, Center for Quantum Philosophy, ETH-Zürich; Prof. Christopher Fuchs, Department of Physics, University of Massachusetts, Boston, USA; Prof. David Wallace, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, USA and Prof. Markus Paul Müller, Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information, Austria.

Topics include the history of Quantum Mechanics, Quantum Interpretations—introductions and reflections on various Old / New interpretations, Bell’s Theorem—past, present, and Future, quantum entanglement and nonlocality, quantum measurement problem, meaning and collapse of wave function and role of observer, implications and future visions of the Foundations of quantum mechanics, and many more.

Quantum Week promises to inspire the convergence of knowledge, curiosity, and consciousness.
