Perhaps it is only fair to open this marveling season of our journey from Atoms to Planets with a conversation where we dive into the quantum world!

When we talk about interference, we consider light as a wave, while in the photoelectric effect, Einstein very revolutionarily proposed the idea of photons as particles. Sitting right in between, begs the question — how would you explain the interference of two photons!

One of the most pioneering experiments that also became a pivotal event in the story of Quantum Optics, was conceptualised and undertaken during the doctoral thesis of our guest for this episode— a fitting start to a journey studded with brilliant ideas all along—, for an extremely talented physicist and a charming human all around— Prof. Rupamanjari Ghosh.

Stay tuned for a conversation amalgamating a scientific breakthrough and personal anecdotes from a pioneering physicist!

The first part of this conversation releases this Friday on major podcast streaming platforms including Spotify and YouTube or directly head to our website: www.zeroingin.org
