Quantum to Cosmos: Ideas and Applications

Summer Research School,  June 25 – July 4 2019, Gebze, TURKEY

Quantum designates the laws of physics, which govern the functioning of nature at atomic and subatomic scales and percolate into the giant scales of the cosmos. The powerful ideas ranging from quantum to cosmos continue unlocking the secrets of the universe, thereby ensuring its understanding at the deepest level and paving the way for advanced technologies of the future. The Research School will introduce graduate students and young researchers to a wide range of frontier topics from quantum to cosmos.
