Quantum computing research is at a high pace across the globe since it can solve many problems efficiently when compared with classical computing. The quantum features such as superposition, entanglement and interference are dangerous for classical cryptography algorithms (public key cryptosystem) that are used in real life secure communication. Even though technologists know about this danger, quantum insecure algorithms are used in the majority of the communication. There is a need to bring awareness to implement the quantum safe algorithms for the secure communication regardless of the complexity, cost and other factors. Also, there is a need for the development of quantum secure techniques to overcome the quantum attacks that can arise in the future. Hence, it is required for the researchers, industry practitioners and academicians to know about the need and present research and development in Quantum communication and information security.

Behavioral finance is an emerging area of study which considers the theories based on psychology to elucidate the anomalies in the financial market. Of late there is a lot of researches happening in the field of behavioral finance.

Department of Applied Sciences and Department of Information Technology are jointly organizing a Two-day workshop/FDP on "Next-Gen Computation: Harnessing AI and HPC for Breakthroughs in Biomedical and Bioinformatics Domains" from 28-29th March, 2026. The workshop is focused on recent advances at the intersection of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing for life-science applications.

The Department of Applied Sciences, IIIT Allahabad is going to organize a 4-day Workshop on Frontiers in Quantum Information and Technology.

Let us step into the future of healthcare with Smart Technology (ST) that has become essential in health sciences, ranging from cost-effective medical appliances to wearables like smartwatches for routine monitoring; and industrial Internet of Things (IoT) systems that enhance efficiency and decision-making by providing real-time insights from data collected across diverse medical platforms. As sensor technology advances, the demand for AI-driven, autonomous, and adaptive analytical systems for smart health management has surged. Core components of ST, such as, devices and systems that use artificial intelligence, machine learning, and internet connectivity to operate autonomously for analyzing data and adapt to user behavior or environmental conditions; offer strong potential for developing effective analytical frameworks for smart health management. Such approaches can significantly contribute to the development of new smart medical devices as well as the intelligent enhancement of existing conventional medical equipment's. This short-term course introduces beginners to fundamental ST concepts, focusing on artificial intelligence and predictive techniques, and concludes with practical, real-world applications of these technologies.

IUPAC Global Women’s Breakfast is an annual event organised by various organizations like Research institutes, High Schools, Universities, Industries, Scientific Publishing houses, Colleges etc. The event is celebrated by IUPAC in conjunction with U.N. Day of Women and Girls in Science. The aim of celebrating this event is to create an active network of people of all genders to establish gender equality in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics). The theme of GWB 2026 is “Many Voices, One Science”. The GWB has been connecting about 2500 events across 100 countries. This year it is going to be celebrated on 10th February in online mode by us under the aegis of ACS and IACT.

The convergence of Generative AI and Human–Robot Interaction (HRI) is ushering in a new era of intelligent, intuitive, and deeply human-centric machine collaboration. As robots become more capable of understanding, creating, and adapting through generative models, their ability to work seamlessly with people is expanding across various domains, including healthcare, manufacturing, education, the creative arts, and everyday assistance. This powerful synergy not only enhances robot autonomy and expressiveness but also opens pathways for richer, safer, and more personalized human–robot partnerships.This workshop brings together researchers, practitioners, and industry leaders to explore the latest breakthroughs, emerging challenges, and future opportunities at this intersection. By fostering a multidisciplinary exchange of ideas, the workshop aims to catalyze innovative frameworks, tools, and collaborations that will define the next generation of human-robot co-creation and interaction.
