“Department of Physics, Quaid-e-Azam University”的意思、由来-开放百科全书

The Department of Physics, Quaid-e-Azam University ({{lang-ur|{{Nastaliq|طبیعیات کے سیکشن جامعہ قائداعظم}}}}) (founded as the Institute of Physics, QAU), is an academic and research department of the Quaid-e-Azam University (Qau), Pakistan. It is also referred to as the Institute of Theoretical Physics.

Established in 1966 with efforts led by Abdus Salam,^[1] the institute was located in Rawalpindi, Punjab Province and offered research in mathematics and theoretical physics.^[1] Professor Riazuddin served its first and founding director of the institute after shifting to the present QAU campus in 1972.^[1] The institute is considered a birthplace of school of theoretical physics of Pakistan.^[2] ^[2] It is also a birthplace of "Theoretical Physics Group" (TPG), now shifted to PINSTECH, and invited scientists from all over the world.^[1] The department has collaborated with institutes including Kahuta Research Laboratories, National Centre for Physics, Government College University, the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) and CERN.^[1]

Foundation and history

Between 1966-1968, Abdus Salam's doctoral students had returned to Pakistan after earning their doctorates and experience.^[2] These physicists had been under Abdus Salam's influence and were eager to establish an institute of physics.^[2] Abdus Salam enabled them to engage their research in theoretical physics and to establish the country's first school of theoretical physics.^[2] Abdus Salam provided his support to establish the institute and gave the founding directorship of the institute to his pupil student, Riazuddin.^[2]

Abdus Salam and Riazuddin founded the first "Theoretical Physics Group (TPG)" in 1968 that gave birth to Pakistan's school of theoretical physics.^[2] The infrastructure was built by the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) after Raziuddin Siddiqui also persuaded the PAEC to provide its full support to establish this institute as a birthplace of theoretical physics.^[2] The new institute was re-established at the University of Islamabad and, Salam, Siddiqui and Bhutto convinced the authorities in Pakistan, specifically President Ayub Khan, to make the proposed university a research institution.^[2] Siddiqui convinced the chairman of PAEC, dr IH Usmani, to send all the theoreticians in PAEC to the Institute of Physics at the University of Islamabad to form a theoretical physics group.^[2]
