Crash Course on Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Mechanics is a fascinating yet an enigmatic topic of study which has captivated the minds of physicists for decades now. There are so many weird possibilities a quantum system can do which seem to be alien to the macroscopic world. Like how can a particle cross a barrier greater than its total energy? What does it mean that we can’t measure the position and momentum of a particle simultaneously? In this course, we will not only try to understand the quantum world but also put these ideas into mathematical equations.

Tarun S

St. Joseph's College, Bangalore

Naxxatra is an incredible community with a lot of enthusiastic and talented researchers who were ready to share their knowledge with everyone. Through the Equinox program I got to learn a lot about about astronomy. The most amazing part according to me would be the Mini-projects, it gave me an insight into how a research actually works and gave me incredible amount of experience and helped me find like-minded people who were exceptionally talented.

Aditya Ramdasi

Dr. Kalmadi Shamarao Jr. College

The Concept of Equinox and Naxxatra is very unique. The lectures and QnA sessions helped me invoke my latent curiosity and fascination with astrophysics which actually had become dormant in the last 2.5 years due to mundane 10th & 12th std board exams and the intense JEE preparation. It also provided me a much needed break from constantly learning things in a haste.

Biswajit Jana

UEM, Jaipur

It was really an amazing 30 days of my life. I really learnt a lot of things which I was familiar with earlier but never learn in this deep. As a B.tech student from the department of Electronics, I wanted to pursue a career in Astronomy but for that in our college we don't have any exposure or any activities apart from the academic. But my passion to learn has brought me here. Not only this, the lectures/the talks were really wonderful.

UEM, Jaipur

It's the best program I have attended till now w.r.t other organisations. Most interesting part are the lecturers, speakers and their way of presenting and interaction. I learned many things here from journal club, cohort meetings, etc. Most advantageous part of naxxatra or equinox is the discord server where we met people of different levels (in terms of knowledge) and everyone can exchange knowledge and keep in touch for forever.

Abhilash Sengupta

Kirori Mal College, Delhi University

I was introduced to the process of writing papers, which I frankly had no idea how to approach. But with people with expertise in various areas, the task was a lot more enjoyable and easier than I could have expected. The lectures further introduced me to newer topics which I am exploring and enjoying right now and overall the experience was educational and enjoyable.

This is just great what you guys are doing at naxxatra, I joined for a mere certificate for my resume but I stayed for the people and the knowledge.. and I don't even care for the certificate now, just grateful for the few friends whome I can count on when I need something, like talking to like minded people or having intellectual debates!

Advait Arvind Joshi

Fergusson College, Pune

From last several years, Equinox is the most amazingly awesome program I've attended. Thank You to Naxxatra for this. 30 days of Excitement + 30 Days of Enjoyment + 30 Days of Education + 30 Days of Motivation and Inspiration + 30 Days of Dedication = 30 Days of Equinox. Thank You Naxxatra 😇
