Nobel Laureate in Physics to Deliver Exclusive Lecture for Pakistan’s Academic Community; Rector USP Praises Landmark Opportunity

REGISTRATION LINK IS HERE

Pakistan’s academic and scientific community is set to have an exceptional opportunity to engage with one of the world’s leading physicists, Professor Dr. Michel H. Devoret, the 2025 Nobel Prize Laureate in Physics, who will deliver an exclusive online academic lecture on the frontiers of modern physics and quantum science.

The lecture is scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, 2026, from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m. (PST) will be hosted online, with participation facilitated from the Civil Auditorium at Khwaja Fareed University of Engineering and Information Technology (KFUEIT), Rahim Yar Khan, Punjab, Pakistan.

Prof. Dr. Muhammad Mukhtar, Rector of the University of Southern Punjab, Multan, warmly welcomed and appreciated the invitation, emphasizing the extraordinary value of bringing internationally distinguished scientists closer to Pakistan’s students, researchers, and faculty. Recalling his past, he shared that he participated in an event where the current Prime Minister of Pakistan announced its establishment to a group of intellectuals and Vice Chancellors in Rahim Yar Khan.

The landmark session is expected to offer participants a rare opportunity to hear directly from a Nobel laureate on the rapidly advancing fields of quantum science, modern physics, and the emerging frontiers of scientific discovery. For young researchers in particular, such interaction can be inspiring and open new perspectives on research, innovation, and the future of science.

Prof. Dr. Mukhtar appreciated the initiative and congratulated the KFUEIT team on making the lecture accessible to the broader university community across Pakistan. He encouraged faculty members, researchers, postgraduate students, and students in relevant disciplines to participate in and benefit from the intellectual exchange. “Interactions with scientists of such international stature can have a profound impact on the aspirations of young researchers,” said Prof. Mukhtar.

The lecture also comes at a time when quantum science and quantum technologies are rapidly transforming the scientific and technological landscape, with implications ranging from computing and communications to precision measurement and fundamental research. Exposure to leading thinkers in these fields can help strengthen scientific curiosity and encourage students to consider research careers at the cutting edge of technology.

The academic community across Pakistan has therefore been encouraged to take advantage of this exceptional opportunity and participate in the lecture.

For Pakistan’s emerging generation of scientists, the lecture is more than an academic event; it offers an opportunity to encounter Nobel-level science, broaden intellectual horizons, and imagine new possibilities at the frontier of discovery.
