(Abridged) We describe here the most ambitious survey currently planned in optical, Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST). A vast array of science will be enabled by a single wide-deep-fast sky survey, and LSST have unique capability faint time domain. The design is driven four main themes: probing dark energy matter, taking an inventory Solar System, exploring transient optical sky, mapping Milky Way. wide-field ground-based system sited at Cerro Pach\'{o}n northern Chile. telescope 8.4 m...

PBL brought together the contents physics, mathematics and computer science courses into single course. Instead students having enroll in each course separately, they had opportunity which learned those subjects by solving real‐life problems. In order evaluate effects program students' academic achievement, three...

In quantum Shannon theory, transmission of information is enhanced by features. Up to very recently, the trajectories remained fully classical. Recently, a new paradigm was proposed playing tricks on two completely depolarizing channels i.e. using coherent control in space or time channels. We extend here this through network an arbitrary number $N$ with individual capacity preservation characteristics case indefinite causal order. propose formalism assess most general order scenario...
The extended confinement imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns resulted in imposition of online education for two years. Many students experienced their transitions to higher educative levels during this time, surely losing some academic learning as a consequence. On other hand, context could have promoted different types competencies, until recently not explored, function students’ personalities or profiles. Physics teaching is among those areas which changed from its traditional...
