"Seeking the Light in a Cavity" in Conversation with Nobel Laureate Serge Haroche
Good M., Quek W.L.
Serge Haroche, Chair in Quantum Physics at the College de France. Professor Haroche was awarded the 2012 Nobel Prize for Physics for "groundbreaking experimental methods that enable measuring and manipulation of individual quantum systems". On 22 April 2013, the first day of the Berge Fest Conference, Professor Haroche delivered a talk on "Controlling photons in cavities". He reviewed recent experiments in Cavity QED in which his group count trapped microwave photons non-destructively and used quantum feedback methods to stabilize the photon number to a preset value. Further developments of these experiments were also discussed in his talk. The editorial team of Asia Pacific Physics Newsletter interviewed Professor Haroche during the Berge Fest Conference on 24 April 2014.

Nobel Laureate Roy Glauber on Physics and His Personal Experience
Good M.
Roy Jay Glauber, Lee Kong Chian Distinguished Professor; Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics, Harvard University. Professor Glabuer was awarded the 2005 Nobel Prize in Physics for his contribution to the quantum theory of optical coherence. He was invited to Singapore by Institute of Advanced Studies@ Nanyang Technological University in 2014. During his stay in Singapore, he gave several talks to the local physics community members and the general public. In one of his public lectures on "Some Recollections of Los Alamos — and the Nuclear Era", he shared his personal experiences, feelings, and interpretations, regarding wartime science. The editorial team of Asia Pacific Physics Newsletter interviewed Professor Glauber at the Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore on 6 May 2014.
A Brief History of the Association of Asia Pacific Physical Societies (AAPPS)
Phua K.K.
As early as the 1970s, physicists in the Asia Pacific had held some meetings to discuss the possibility of strengthening regional collaboration. The areas of focus of these discussions were three-fold: 1) Organising regional physics meetings 2) Establishing a regional physical society 3) Setting up a regional research centre
The Graphene Research Centre Singapore

Human progress and development has always been marked by breakthroughs in the control of materials. Since prehistoric times, through the stone, bronze, and iron ages, humans have exploited their environment for materials that can be either used directly or can be modified for their benefit, to make their life more comfortable, productive, or to gain military advantage. One age replaces another when the material that is the basis for its sustainability runs its course and is replaced by another material which presents more qualities or functionalities.
Third International Symposium on Plasma Nanoscience
Xu S.
Set in the background of the tropical sun and swaying coconut trees, the Pulai Desaru Beach Resort was the venue for the iPlasmaNano-III Symposium from 27 February to 1 March 2012. Delegates were picked up in a chartered coach and they arrived at the magnificent tropical resort of Pulai Desaru within two hours from Singapore, with a stopover at the Desaru Fruit Farm for sightseeing and lunch. More than 80 delegates, including many eminent and renowned scientists from 19 countries attended the symposium.
The Elementary Particle Physics Research in Singapore: the Past, the Present and the Future
Phua K.K.
The discovery of the Higgs Boson (or more popularly known in media as God particle) in early July was hailed as one of the most significant scientific breakthrough in the 21st Century, stirring a sensation in the Science community and Media around the world. This discovery allows us to reassess our understanding of the importance of elementary particle physics or high energy physics, and how its study has to a certain extent influenced the direction of future development of scientific research as a whole. In this article, we want to take a look at how Singapore has fared in this area so far, and discuss some of the issues concerning the policies and directions of the research in the basic sciences in the Asia Pacific region.
