[Urdu/Hindi] Quantum Physics: Dr. Muhammad Hamza Waseem | Kainaati Chai | 2025

Quantum physics is a bedrock of modern physics, and of modern life. And yet, it is profoundly mysterious. In the episode of Kainaati Chai, we chat with Dr. Muhammad Hamza Waseem. Apart from his research, he is devoted to teaching the principles of quantum physics in an accessible manner.
Dr. Muhammad Hamza Waseem is a Research Scientist at Quantinuum. His current research focuses on quantum foundations, quantum science education, applied category theory, mathematical linguistics, and quantum natural language processing. Hamza completed his DPhil in Physics at the University of Oxford, which was funded by the Rhodes Trust and Magdalen College.
His thesis explored applied process-relational philosophy and employed string diagrams to study interpretations of quantum theory, constructor theory, wave-based logic, quantum computing and natural language processing.
During his undergraduate studies in electrical engineering at UET Lahore, Hamza helped establish Pakistan's first laboratory for single-photon quantum physics. He also co-authored the book Quantum Mechanics in the Single-Photon Laboratory, published by the Institute of Physics (IOP), UK, now in its second edition.
Passionate about public engagement with science, Hamza has played a key role in organising the Lahore Science Mela, the largest annual science festival in Pakistan. He co-founded Spectra, an online magazine dedicated to training popular science writers in Pakistan. For his contributions to science popularisation, Hamza has been awarded the 2021 Diana Award, a High Commendation at the 2021 SEPnet Public Engagement Awards, and the 2024 MPLS Public Engagement with Research Impact Award.
At Oxford, Hamza teaches mathematics and physics at Magdalen College, the Mathematical Institute, and the Department of Computer Science. He has also served as a Lecturer in Physics at Magdalen College. Additionally, he is a Senior Research Fellow at the Global Centre for Advanced Studies in Dublin.
