Creative Talk Series launched at RGU: Prof Choudhury addresses college students on the Wonders of the Quantum World
GUWAHATI, February 20, 2026: The Department of Physics at The Assam Royal Global University (RGU) has taken a significant initiative to launch a Creative Talk Series featuring Prof. Amarjyoti Choudhury, Chair, Dr Bhupen Hazarika Centre for Creativity, as the distinguished orator. Today, the first talk of the series has been delivered on “The Wonders of the Quantum World”.
About 130 students from various colleges across Guwahati, including B. Borooah College, Pragjyotish College, Handique Girls’ College, and Arya Vidyapeeth College attended the programme, apart from other participants at RGU campus.
Prof. Choudhury delivered an insightful and engaging exposition on the foundational and theoretical aspects of Quantum Theory and Quantum Mechanics. Explaining complex ideas in simple and accessible language, he traced the historical development of quantum mechanics from its emergence nearly a century ago to its present-day technological implications. He elaborated on the revolutionary ideas that challenged classical intuition and demonstrated how quantum principles now underpin modern advancements in electronics, communication, computation, and materials science. His lucid explanation helped students appreciate both the conceptual beauty and practical significance of quantum mechanics.
Prof. Aniruddha Chatterjee, Dean, Royal School of Applied and Pure Sciences has stated that the central aim of this initiative is to ignite curiosity, promote creative thinking, and cultivate deeper intellectual engagement among students beyond the boundaries of their prescribed curriculum. “The large turnout reflected the growing interest among students in understanding the fascinating and often non-intuitive principles of the quantum world”, he added.
The session concluded with an interactive question-and-answer segment, where students actively engaged with the speaker, raising thoughtful questions and seeking clarifications.
