Statement of Prof. David Gross, Nobel Laureate 2004, at the recently concluded Quantum India Bengaluru 2025. This one sentence sums up the conference for me.

Dr Jayant Vishnu Narlikar is no more. A celestial flame has dimmed on Earth, only to shine brighter among the stars he once deciphered. I begin my tribute to recalling the blessings that I received from Mrs Taratai Bole, when I returned to India 50 years ago. She said, “You

A PhD is all about becoming better at research. So, it’s normal to look back on your earlier work and see flaws in it. That’s a sign that you’ve improved. #PhDVoice @PostdocVoice

In #academia, publishing for the sake of publishing makes you a noise generator. How does it work? Quite simply: - When you’re a strong scientist, people follow your publications and research. - The deeper your studies are, the less you publish. Then, your research is more

Presenting your work at a conference is NOT about reporting your results. It's about controlling the flow of logic and excitement through the minds of the audience. At each conference, I see a lot of mistakes that make #research presentations hard to follow. Wrong visuals,

As a professor, pursue the careers of your PhD students and postdocs instead of pursuing your own. I know it may sound strange and even provocative. But in fact it is how it’s supposed to be. Unfortunately, a personal gain is the biggest motivation for many professors. More

Enjoyed the inauguration of the Center of Excellence on Quantum Information, Computing Science & Technologies @iitbombay Excellent initiative to prepare for Quantum revolution 2.0. We need to form such multi-disciplinary units with focused mandates. With @HarocheSerge & others.

Learning that serious research time and committee/administrative responsibility are connected through Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

India has jumped to third position in the 'quantity' of scientific output... there has been very little overall improvement in the 'quality' of science. https://t.co/Bhtsz7bf5F
