MIND MAP OF PROF ROY J GLAUBER's LECTURE ON "WHAT IS QUANTUM OPTICS?"

15th Asian Physics Olympiad Nobel Laurette Talk on "What is Quantum Optics" by Professor Roy J Glauber, Harvard University on 18 May 2014 in NUS, Singapore

The talk was interesting and I enjoyed mind mapping the lecture and historical anecdotes on over more than 100 years of scientific "quantum" discoveries delivered over one and a half hour.

The first half of the lecture proceeded on brilliantly as Professor Glauber told an extremely wonderful story about Optics from Ancient, Classical and to the "Quanta" ages. Layman like myself, thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful way that Prof. Glauber had related it. However, as the lecture time inched closer towards the start of the APhO2014 Closing Ceremony, the Nobel Laurette had to speed up his otherwise, brilliant lecture on "Quantum Optics" so much so that, I only added some of the keywords mentioned in my mind map. For viewers interested to know Prof Glauber storyline, they could easily 'googled' for more information using the keywords that I left in my mind map above.

Please enjoy and have fun reading the beginnings of 'Quantum Optics' from my mind map!

APhO2014 - 15th ASIAN PHYSICS OLYMPIAD OPENING CEREMONY MIND MAP

MIND MAP OF THE 15TH ASIAN PHYSICS OLYMPIAD, SINGAPORE 

I was glad to be at the15th Asian Physics Olympiad, 2014 (APhO2014) jointly organised by National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National Institute of Education (NIE), Institute of Physics, Singapore (IPS), Materials Research Society (MRS) and supported by the Ministry of Education (MOE). The event involving 27 countries and close to 300 delegates, was chaired by Professor BVR Chowdari.



The APhO2014 was declared open by Professor Tan Chorh Chuan, President of National University of Singapore



Flags of all participating countries were displayed on both sides in the hall as well as published in the Programme Booklet. While admiring the flags hanging over the side and comparing it with the ones in the booklet, I spotted an extra flag....! Could you? Haha. Try please. Haha.

Lastly, I would like to thank Prof Tan Chorh Chuan and Prof BVR Chowdari for kindly autographing my mind map

Afternote:
I enjoyed the programme for opening ceremony very much and am looking forward to attend the Nobel Laureate talk by Professor Roy J. Glauber on "What is Quantum Optics" scheduled on 18th May 2014. You are welcome to see the Mind Map that I did for the talk. You may be in for a surprise?
