Hybrid
Holographic Himalaya is a research journal club on “Quantum Information of Space-time and Matter,” which will run for 6 months with a target of 30 bachelor's and master's students. Additionally, students will be divided into groups and assigned a specific topic and well-defined research problem. If the university and college collaborate, it can become a master's thesis or bachelor's project. The program is hybrid, with weekly virtual and monthly on-site sessions. Due to the project's multidisciplinary nature, students can explore state-of-the-art research in various fields of theoretical physics.

Topics for this session:
1. Random Matrix Theory applications in buses of Kathmandu
2. Search for quantum computing advantages in nuclear chaotic systems
3. Wormholes and holographic protocols
4. Relativistic fluid dynamics

Eligibility:
Students studying at Bachelor and Master level from Nepal with background in theoretical physics and willing to commit for the period of 6 months. Priority will be given to students in the final year looking for Bachelor's and Master's projects.
 
Commitment:
Minimum of three hours per week. There will be weekly virtual progress discussions and frequent Virtual talks by international experts. Furthermore, there will be monthly on-site meetings where experts from local universities will be invited. The students should attend these events to obtain a successful participation certificate.
 
ICTP Certificate:
There will be a presentation of the project by students at the end of the project. After full participation, registered students will receive ICTP certificates. 
We welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds, e.g., in terms of age, gender, disability, sexual orientation/identity, and social, ethnic and religious origin.
