Partha Ghose
Partha Ghose, born 1939, is an Indian physicist, author, anchorperson and professor at the S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences in Calcutta.
Partha Ghose is quoted as one of India's best known popularizers of modern science.[1]
Together with K. Bagchi, Partha Ghose received the NCSTC's National Award for the Best Science and Technology coverage in the Mass Media in the period 1986-1990.[1]
Ghose has written scientific articles and scholarly books on physics as well as the books Riddles in a Teacup and Solar Eclipse: The Celestial diamond on popular science. He is anchorperson in the popular shows Quest and Eureka.[1]
He is professor at the S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences in Calcutta.[2]
His recent work Testing Quantum Mechanics on New Ground covers advances in experimental tests of quantum theory, some of which had been limited to thought experiments some years earlier but became accessible to experiment in the course of technological progress.
His work on Bohmian trajectories of photons,[3] in which he demonstrated trajectories that could be ascribed also to photons in the approach of the De Broglie–Bohm theory, formed the basis for a ccomparison of these trajectories from those that were later observed experimentally with weak measurements.[4]
