The curriculum provides a robust foundation in core areas like Classical and Quantum Mechanics, while also delving into emerging fields such as Quantum Nanostructures and, uniquely, Machine Learning with Python. With a strong. research-driven approach, the programme features major, minor and summer research projects, industrial and research internships. Graduates are exceptionally well-prepared for PhD programmes, national competitive exams like CSIR-NET and GATE, and careers in R&D and IT, making them future leaders in Physics and technology. ABOUT THE COLLEGE Marian College Kuttikkanam (Autonomous), established in 1995 by the Catholic Diocese of Kanjirapally, provides quality higher education in Idukki's hill district. Located in the Western Ghats, it offers job-oriented, technology-integrated programs. The college has consistently excelled in NAAC accreditation, earning an A++ grade (CGPA 3,71) in 2023. It holds CPE status, gained autonomy in 2016, and was ranked in 101 to 150 band in NIRF 2025 and also 7th in KIRF ranking 2025. With international academic collaborations, Marian focuses on holistic student transformation and academic excellence. About the Event Qubits and Beyond" is a short-term workshop designed to introduce participants to the exciting and rapidly evolving field of Quantum Computing. This program offers a blend of theoretical foundations and hands-on practice. It will guide attendees through the core principles of quantum mechanics, the mathematics of quantum states, and the architecture of quantum circuits. Key topics include qubits, superposition, entanglement, and quantum gates. The workshop also features a practical component using Qiskit, enabling participants to write and simulate quantum algorithms. Ideal for students and faculty, this workshop aims to build a strong foundational understanding of how quantum computing works and its potential to shape the future Highlights/Themes OBJECTIVES: Introduce fundamentals of quantum computation Hands-on experience using quantum computing platforms (e.g., Qiskit). Bridge the gap between theoretical quantum mechanics and real-world quantum algorithms. Encourage faculty and students to initiate teaching, projects, and research in quantum computing. EXPECTED OUTCOMES Enhanced understanding of quantum computing fundamentals. Practical exposure to quantum programming environments. Improved teaching and curriculum enrichment in emerging physics areas. Motivation for student projects, seminars, and future research collaborations. TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED Introduction to quantum computing Fundamentals of Classical Computing Linear Algebra for Quantum Computing Quantum Postulates One Qubit System Representation of Qubits on the Bloch Sphere Measurement of Qubits Two and Multi-Qubit Systems Entanglement No-Cloning Theorem Basic Quantum Gates Universal Quantum Gates Quantum Circuits Quantum Teleportation Popular Quantum Algorithms Application of Qiskit to Quantum Algorithms Schedule Overview The session starts at 9.00AM everyday and ends with lunch at 1.40PM.
