The Nature of Light: What are Photons? Technical Event
Tuesday, 27 August 2013
7:30 PM - 10:00 PM
Join us for a special technical event featuring Prof. Carver Mead, California Institute of Technology (USA). Carver Mead and Lynn Conway co-authored in 1980 the landmark book, Introduction to VLSI Systems, which revolutionized the manufacturing process on how to make computer chips with ever increasing and ever denser transistors eventually giving birth to the famous “Moore’s law”, circuit density doubling every two years. Many of his students became the founders of many more computer related companies. This is why he is also known as the “Chip-Daddy” in the world of computer chip design. Carver, the founder of several computer related companies himself, is also a pioneering physicist who underscores the importance of conceptual visualization of the micro universe. Prof. Mead will present his recent views on the nature of light, and how they can be extended seamlessly to a unified view of the observable universe.
Prof. Mead's one-hour talk will begin at 8:00 PM. Discussions and networking with snacks will follow.

Workshop and Discussion on The Nature of Light: What are Photons?
Thursday, 29 August 2013
10:30 AM - 12:30 PM
This workshop is designed to prepare ourselves for the next, the sixth bi-annual conference, to be held during August, 2015. The initial talk(s) are designed to provoke the audience into an open debate that would generate “a variety of food for thoughts” and triggers ideas for many future scientific papers to be presented in this conference series. The workshop will be opened by C. Roychoudhuri.
Theme
Humans have succeeded in advancing the Global Culture to usher in the Knowledge Age within the last half-century. Innovative engineers have achieved this by developing communication technologies that are based upon generating, manipulating/coding, propagating, and then detecting/de-coding signals out of a stream of photons and/or electrons. They never need to solve the Schrodinger’s equation, or the Heisenberg’s matrix, or ponder on how to manage the wave-particle duality of the photons and the electrons, or even how to manage their non-causal behavior, supposed to be built into the successful QM formalism. Further, no Physicist can claim to fully understand the structure of either the photon or the electron! Nano- and bio-technologies have already advanced to the point that humans can begin dreaming of eradicating specific diseases and prolonging life span. This increasing rate of technological evolution and consequent progress has been steadily accelerating for millennia without any serious disruptions; while the physics-thinking has been requiring multiple revolutionary disruptions! What is the root cause behind this dichotomy of the innovative engineering-thinking and the physics-thinking?
