The Day 1 talk sessions at #DAEC2026 closed with Prof. Ujjwal Sen (HRI & HBNI) walked us through the deep structure underpinning #QuantumTechnologies — from the fundamentals of entanglement to the architecture of quantum simulators, networks, sensors, and computers.

#DAEC2026 has begun with Dr. Vivek Bhasin's historical overview of India's nuclear journey—from Apsara, Asia’s first research reactor, to the vision of sustainable power through thorium. A compelling reminder of the scale and self-reliance of India’s nuclear programme.

The final talk session of Day 1 at #DAEC2026 was on quantum tech. Prof. Sushil Mujumdar (TIFR, Mumbai) delved into the frontiers of Quantum Communication, from entanglement and photon sources to high dimensional QKD, exploring how light can carry unbreakable codes.

Ashok Mohapatra (SPS, NISER Bhubaneswar) delivered a deep dive into quantum sensors for electromagnetic fields at #DAEC2026.

From DC to THz, he walked through field sensors, Rydberg atom-based sensing, and cold-atom magnetometers—cutting-edge tools with powerful applications.

Prof. Mandar Deshmukh (TIFR, Mumbai) delivered a compelling talk at #DAEC2026 on 2D superconducting materials for fundamental science & technology.

From Josephson junctions to graphene-based amplifiers, the session explored cutting-edge quantum tech & future device potential.

Next at #DAEC2026, Dr. Ved Prakash Sinha spotlighted cutting-edge reactor innovations—from molten salt and high-temperature gas-cooled designs to sustainable hydrogen generation and the three-stage nuclear power programme.

From quantum tech to next-gen reactors, the 2nd DAE Conclave #DAEC2026 at @tifrscience will spotlight the future of science, innovation & sustainability.
