New opportunities and challenges for India’s youth:

About 5 years ago, the former Director General of  CSIR, Dr. RA Mashelkar had co-authored a book with the title “ From leapfrogging to pole vaulting : creating the magic of sustainable transformation”, exhorting its readers to shift from reactive leapfrogging to proactive pole-vaulting through radical transformation.

India has now embraced the two emerging technologies of Artificial Intelligence and Quantum in a big way. There is an AI mission with an initial commitment of 10,000 crores ( https://www.narendramodi.in/cabinet-approves-ambitious-indiaai-mission-to-strengthen-the-ai-innovation-ecosystem-580269 ) and a National Quantum mission with an initial commitment of Rs 6,000 crores ( https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=1917888 ). 

This gives rise to the need for an ‘AI fluent’ and a ‘Quantum ready’ workforce. A major challenge in preparing for these new technologies is the shortage of teachers. This is where the need for ‘ pole vaulting’ rather than ‘leap fogging’ comes in. To address this, I have created a set of WhatsApp ‘active learning’ ( https://mediatheque.lindau-nobel.org/recordings/38480/dont-lecture-me ) courses augmented with AI and chatGPT. 

Neils Bohr had said “ If Quantum Mechanics hasn’t profoundly shocked you, you haven’t understood it yet”. And Richard Feynman who developed a new ‘ path integrals’ approach to Quantum Mechanics had said “ I think I can safely say that nobody understands Quantum Mechanics”. But  he also emphasised that nature is Quantum and exhorted fellow Physićists to work on creating a quantum Comouter with the following words “ Nature isn’t classical, dammit, and if you want to make a simulation of nature, you’d better make it quantum mechanical.” 

Galileo said about 400 years ago that the laws of nature are written in the language of Mathematics. For  Newton, the new Mathematics was differential and integral calculus. In the Quantum age the new Mathematics is statistics , linear algebra and more. To understand Quantum, there is a mathematical barrier also, but modern neuroscience says that this barrier can be overcome by the motivated, with relevant strategies from the ‘ Science of Learning’. 

To address these challenges, I have created a monthlong course on “ Becoming an AI fluent educator” for teachers ( https://mmpant.com/the-ai-fluent-smarteducator/  ) and another month-long course on “ AI powered self-learner ” for learners ( https://mmpant.com/ai-powered-self-learner/ ) 

And a set of 4 weeklong ( Monday to Friday) courses to promote “ Quantum Readiness”. They are QLW1: Demystifying Quantum ( https://mmpant.com/qlw1-demystifying-quantum/ ), QLW2: The 1st Quantum Revolution ( https://mmpant.com/qlw2-the-1st-quantum-revolution/   ), QLW3 : The 2nd Quantum Revolution ( https://mmpant.com/qlw3-the-2nd-quantum-revolution/ ) and QLW4 : Mathematics for Quantum  ( https://mmpant.com/qlw4-mathematics-for-quantum/ ). 

Learning Weekends : 2862  characters

Alvin Toffler had said that “the illiterates of the 21st Century will not be those, who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and re-learn”. There is wisdom in unlearning habits, beliefs and assumptions that no longer serve a useful purpose. Another motivational quote from Jerry Rice, the legendary American football player is “Today I will do what others won’t, so tomorrow I can do what others can’t.” Many eminent persons ranging from Benjamin Franklin ( https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/24824-an-investment-in-knowledge-always-pays-the-best-interest ), Bill Gates, Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet ( https://youtu.be/mQJU0LeN6xU ), Bill Clinton ( https://youtu.be/L_nUOfaWEC4 )  and Amitabh Bachchan ( https://youtu.be/vk2BiQB9WJM  ) have reiterated the importance of lifelong learning. Once upon a time, only rare especially gifted persons were auto-didacts capable of self-learning. 

Within two months of the chatGPT launch by OpenAI, Prime Minister Narendra Modi  said that self-learning through technology is an opportunity for today’s generation: https://lnkd.in/d9FJN9Jh

# QR11: What is Quantum Supremacy ? 

Quantum supremacy is a term coined by John Preskill of Caltech that is used to describe the point at which a quantum computer can outperform classical computers in certain specific tasks. It demonstrates that a quantum computer can solve problems that are practically infeasible for classical computers within a reasonable amount of time.

Google claimed to have achieved quantum supremacy in 2019 with its 53-qubit quantum processor named Sycamore. However, this claim was contested by IBM, stating that the task performed by Google’s quantum processor could be simulated on a classical computer in a reasonable amount of time, therefore not truly demonstrating quantum supremacy.

Quantum Supremacy refers to the point at which a quantum computer can outperform the most powerful classical supercomputers in solving a specific problem. Unlike traditional computers that rely on bits, quantum computers leverage quantum bits or qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously. This unique capability allows quantum computers to process vast amounts of data and perform complex calculations at an unprecedented speed.

Achieving Quantum Supremacy is not merely about building faster computers; it’s about fundamentally altering our approach to computation and problem-solving. This milestone opens the door to solving previously insurmountable problems in fields such as cryptography, drug discovery, and materials science.

While Quantum Supremacy represents an exciting leap forward, it’s essential to recognize that this is just the beginning of the quantum computing journey. As we navigate this transformative era, understanding the implications of Quantum Supremacy will be crucial in shaping the future of computing and technological innovation.

The term “Quantum Supremacy” coined by John Preskill has been criticized for its potential to be misinterpreted as implying superiority of quantum computing over classical computing in all aspects, which can lead to misunderstandings and controversy. It has been suggested that alternative terms like “Quantum Advantage” may be more appropriate to avoid such connotations.

Achieving quantum supremacy is not the end goal but rather a step towards the broader application of quantum computing. It underscores the importance of continued research, development, and ethical considerations as quantum computing progresses towards more practical and impactful applications.

Wikipedia entry on Quantum Supremacy : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_supremacy

Researchers view quantum supremacy as primarily a scientific goal, with relatively little immediate bearing on the future commercial viability of quantum computing.

LW8: Critical Thinking

Backdrop: 

In popular listings of skills in demand in future (https://www.google.co.in/amp/s/www.monsterindia.com/amp/career-advice/mission-2020-brush-up-on-these-10-skills-to-excel-in-the-future-workplace-6588.html) critical thinking appears very close to the top.

In the future, when we are inundated with information, it seems that critical thinking would almost be a survival skill. As a result of evolution we now have birds that have wings but cannot fly. In the absence of adequate critical thinking skills we may have ‘zombies’ with biological human like brains but without being able to adequately use it. 

This weekend Whatsapp delivered  course is to create an interest in developing the skills of critical thinking, which according to one definition is “ thinking about thinking to improve your thinking while you are thinking”

Critical thinking is crucial for those who have just done their 10th or 12th School Boards  as it helps them analyze information more effectively, make informed decisions regarding their future. It also fosters independence, improves academic performance, and prepares them for success in their personal and professional lives.

It is also very useful for those who have done their higher education but were not trained in critical thinking skills.

The planned flow of the themes of the posts over the weekend is:

Day 1: What is Critical Thinking?

1.1: Critical Thinking is not criticising someone, but is about thinking clearly and rationally on the basis of available evidence (data).

1.2: Reasoning: inductive and deductive

1.3: Carl Sagan’s Baloney detection kit

1.4: Fallacies: ‪Ad hominem‬, Ad ignorantiam, False dilemma,Ergo hoc propter hoc, Non sequitur 

1.5: Bertrand Russell’s 10 Commandments of Critical Thinking

Day 2: Critical Thinking in the age of Artificial Intelligence

2.1: ‪How do I know ? Where the information came from and how it is presented.‬

2.2: AI’s potential to mislead 

2.3: Examining assumptions/ taking a position : the Devil’s advocate 

2.4: Philosophical razors to help critical thinking

2.5: Critical analysis of political speeches : 15 logical fallacies in 3 minutes :Donald Trump’s speech

The exact titles of the posts and their sequence may be tweaked during the delivery of the course. 

The first batch of this course will run on March 30th/31st 2024, and thereafter on the 4th weekend of every month. 

Enrolment and fee payment:

#QR5: Quantum Biology: 

Quantum biology is the field of study that investigates processes in living organisms that cannot be accurately described by the classical laws of physics. All matter, including living matter, is subject to the laws of physics. Biology and biological processes often deal with electrons and protons that are continuously being transferred between different parts of a cell or a macromolecular system.

Why is quantum biology an important field?

Electrons, protons, excitations, chemical bonds, and electronic charges are by definition quantum, and an understanding of their dynamics requires quantum mechanics. Furthermore, these basic entities largely determine the properties of the next level of organization in biological systems – that of biomolecular complexes, whose interaction with one another, and with their environment, often cannot be described accurately without considering the laws of quantum biology.

Quantum biology furthermore can potentially have a huge impact on numerous technologies, including sensing, health, the environment, and information technologies. For example, energy technologies might be revolutionized by bioinspired solar cells, and chemical, magnetic, and biological sensing technologies may be taken to a new level when applying the principles found in natural equivalents.

Young individuals should take an interest in Quantum Biology because it represents an exciting intersection of two fascinating fields: quantum physics and biology. By engaging with this field, young people can contribute to new advancements that may revolutionize medicine, energy production, and our overall understanding of life itself. Here are some more resources to get you interested in this fascinating field.

Becoming Quantum Ready at School:

• When the IITs were created, there were already many reputed Engineering colleges in the country. But the IITs broke new grounds by emphasising Science. This was similar to Johns Hopkins University emphasising Science in the practice of medicine. The result was world class Institutions: https://youtu.be/TBk4Z4q1fEg?si=4gKpqi6oHk4D1e2q
• The IITs did another thing that was different from other Engineering Colleges. They exposed all their students to computers and computer programming. IIT Kanpur had an IBM computer from US, IIT Delhi had an ICL computer from UK, IIT Madras had a Siemens computer from Germany, and IIT Bombay had a Russian Computer. 
• This was an important factor in the success of the IIT ian’s that propelled them to leadership positions all over the world. They were ready to flourish and thrive in the digital age driven by algorithms. And they have continued to reap the rewards in this age of learning algorithms that drive Artificial Intelligence.
• The next big thing is Quantum. The year 2025 has been declared by UNESCO and several Scientific bodies as the year of Quantum: https://quantum2025.org/
• There is also a very ambitious Indian National Quantum Mission :https://www.linkedin.com/posts/madan-pant-794b5a186_indias-rs-6000-crore-quantum-mission-is-activity-7156452263794802688-RKz_?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios
• India has of course a very long tradition of discoveries in the Quantum field and it continues to date : https://www.linkedin.com/posts/madan-pant-794b5a186_todays-post-is-about-indias-earlier-contribution-activity-7153922935957725184-7Jh1?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_ios
• An important insight from the 7 habits of highly effective people : https://www.franklincovey.com/the-7-habits/ is to be pro-active. Our learners must transform from disciplined passive learners to active self-directed learners. 
• Carl Weiman has been evangelising ‘active learning’. He is a Nobel Laureate in Physics for his experimental work on Bose Einstein condensation and also winner of the 4 million dollar Yiden Prize in education.

• CERN reaching out to society on 70 years : https://home.cern/news/press-release/cern/cern-celebrates-70-years-scientific-discovery-and-innovation
• Many countries have taken initiatives to teach Quantum at School. IBM Quantum and Qubit by Qubit are offering a quantum computing course to thousands: https://research.ibm.com/blog/year-three-quantum-coding-school
• Here is a link to an earlier blog post that I had made on why learn Quantum Mechanics while still at school : https://mmpant.com/2020/04/03/why-learn-quantum-mechanics-while-at-school/
• My fond hope is that we can motivate and inspire the next generation of quantum pioneers to use quantum science to make a positive difference to the world. 

QR4: The Indian National Quantum Mission :

The Indian National Quantum Mission (INQM) launched in 2020 is a visionary initiative aimed at propelling India to the forefront of quantum science and technology. The mission is a collaborative effort between academic institutions, research laboratories, industry partners, and government agencies.

QR3: India’s earlier contribution to Quantum : 

An important reason for suggesting the learning of Quantum at School itself  is to develop pride in our own Scientists and their fundamental contributions at the Quantum  level which have perhaps been unjustly ignored. The Raman effect for which Sir CV Raman was conferred the Nobel Prize in 1930 was essentially a ‘Quantum’ effect. Satyendra Bose after whom a class of particles have been named Bosons ( remember Higgs Boson) has also made fundamental contributions. Another great Indian Scientist Jagdish Chandra Bose had demonstrated that plants also conform to the laws of Physics, which we now believe is Quantum Mechanics. 

SN Bose was the first who considered photons as indistinguishable particles and thus rejected the use of Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution law for photons. His interpretation led to the development of Bose-Einstein statistics for studying particles like photons. Paul Dirac named particles obeying Bose-Einstein statistics as Bosons in his honor.

Meghnad Saha was an astrophysicist who derived the equation known as Saha equation, combining quantum and statistical mechanics. This equation related the ionization state of an element to the surrounding temperature and pressure and is used for stellar classification of stars.

Do watch this short video clip from ‘ the Quantum Indians ‘ : https://youtu.be/zQC8o1KdX7s?si=BjwJ1rV5juJ6MPY8

It is not only in the distant past that Indians contributed to the Quantum field. More recently in 1996 Luv Grover developed a Quantum algorithm which has been recognised as a fundamental contribution. 

Grover is a pioneer in quantum computing research and development. He authored the first quantum algorithm for database searches while he was a scientist at AT&T Bell Labs. Grover’s Algorithm markedly improves the speed, accuracy and efficiency of using large databases by employing quantum computing. 

And very recently Professor Urbasi Sinha of the Raman Research Institute  was granted a patent for ‘Method and system for generating cryptographic keys’ to the team led by her for their work on secure Quantum communication. The merit of the work lay in the versatility of the software for simulating Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) experiments.

The invention, qkdSim, provides a tool to design QKD, which circumvents the huge experimental trial-and-error approach. It overcomes the problem by applying the software development model Agifall, whose three-layered architecture conveniently abstracts simulation of real physical processes.  qkdSim comprises distinct modules that model different physical processes and components and combine to simulate full end to end QKD. This simulation enables design and testing implementations for validation and optimization,” said Professor Sinha.

QKD is a globally relevant technology that is currently being pursued towards providing a new paradigm for data security that is based on laws of nature, in this case, laws of quantum mechanics.

National Youth Day :

On 12 January 2013, on the 150 birth anniversary of Swami Vivekanand, the then Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi who is now prime minister of India, wrote a blog post on his personal website to pay tribute to Vivekananda. He named the post “Commemorating Swami Vivekananda: Arise, Awake and stop not till the goal is reached”. 

“ Arise awake and stop not till the goal is reached.” is a phrase popularized in the late 19th century by Swami Vivekanand, who took inspiration from the Katha Upanishad. उत्तिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत. This is what Yama advised Nachiketa. 

Swami Vivekanand’s birthday is also celebrated as “ National Youth Day”. But this message seems truncated because it doesn’t explicit state  the goals to be reached and the path to be followed. We can get some guidance on this from another sloka that is fundamental to our philosophy : असतो मा सद्गमय । तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय ।मृत्योर्माऽमृतं गमय ॥

The goal is therefore seeking the truth, creating the light and achieving immortality. 

And in the Mahabharata the Yaksha asks Yudhishthir what is the path, the response is महाजनो येन गता स पंथा or follow the path trodden by other great men before you. 

About 400 years back Isaac Newton wrote to Robert Hook “ If Iha e seen further than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants”.  He was among the early ones to shed light to reveal the truth and Alexander Pope had remarked “ Nature and nature’s laws lay hid in night. God said let Newton be and there was light. An important step in  तमसो मा  ज्योतिर्गमय. And about a 100 years ago around the time Swami Vivekanand was exhorting people to wake up from their slumber, a group of Scientists from all over the world, including some from India such as CV Raman, Meghnad Saha and Satyendranath Bose were building what is now widely accepted as the Quantum view of the world. This new understanding of the world led to new technologies beginning with electronics and leading to the computer and IT revolution which we see all around us. But then there were a few things that were not well understood and seemed impossible to calculate. Richard Feynman reminded us ‘ not go stop till the goal is reached’ and exhorted fellow Physicists in 1984 to build what are today called ‘ Quantum Computers’. 

Today India also has its National Quantum mission ( https://dst.gov.in/national-quantum-mission-nqm#:~:text=NQM%20has%20the%20potential%20to,space%2C%20banking%2C%20security%20etc.) . 

On this National Youth Day, it would be an appropriate tribute to Swami Vivekanand, if the youth of this country commits itself to be Quantum Ready in the near future, and not remain in the slumber of getting coached for IIT and similar  entrance exams. This is a very informative and motivational video for the youth : https://youtu.be/_OjRClPzU6Y?si=-JjPYkebLUmfROQv

QR2: Quantum Awareness for parents 

We are now at a historic moment, and as parents it merits your serious attention.  After Computers, Artificial Intelligence and now Generative AI, Quantum Computing will transform most technologies and the way many things are done. For a young person aged about 18 years, the next decade is the critical period of life. He or she will spend the next 3 to 5 years in education for a career and the rest of the decade in creating the foundation of his or her career. For the last half century, getting into an IIT, followed by an IIM topped up by a top class US University was the route for a successful world class career. 

But in the next few years, there will be a paradigm change. 

The acronym DYOR which stands for ‘ Do your own research’  is advice generally given to anyone getting involved in the cryptocurrency markets with real money, advising them to research topics on their own instead of simply believing some random Twitter ( now named X) account or Facebook article or YouTube influencer. It is used frequently on social media platforms for topics from medical science to financial investing to conspiracy theories. Those seeking higher education need to do this research themselves and for those still in school, the research has to be done by the parents.

The teaching of quantum physics is routinely excluded from school curricula all over the world.

This significant omission from the curriculum could, in the past be attributed to the novelty of the subject and the challenge of the mathematics traditionally deemed to be necessary.

The time has come to teach quantum to all.

Our children will grow up in a quantum world, but even the best educational institutions are going to struggle to keep up.  It is going to be up to us to get them ready.

The quantum field desperately needs more people.  One of the major obstacles to the success of quantum computing is that we simply don’t have enough people who understand how to leverage it.

All future relevant disciplines will be transformed by quantum computing.  These would include climate change, Space exploration, Healthcare, Traffic control and digital security.

Quantum computing and AI are a natural mashup and this combo will boost the impact of all the areas above.
