Today, July 20, a new modern quantum electronics laboratory was commissioned at the S. U. Umarov Institute of Physics and Technology of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan as part of the celebration of the 35th anniversary of the State Independence of the Republic of Tajikistan and in connection with the declaration of 2026 as the “Year of Expanding Improvement and Development Work and Strengthening and Enhancing National Self-Awareness and Self-Knowledge”. The event was attended by the President of the National Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan, Academician Khushvakhtzoda Qobiljon Khushvakht, as well as other scientists and researchers.
It is particularly noteworthy that the creation of favorable working conditions for scientists and researchers, the establishment of new modern laboratories, and equipping them with modern equipment and technologies stem from the constructive policy and continuous support of the Founder of Peace and National Unity — Leader of the Nation, President of the Republic of Tajikistan, respected Emomali Rahmon.
It should be noted that the commissioning of the quantum electronics laboratory is an important step towards the development of exact sciences, the expansion of fundamental and applied research in physics, as well as the strengthening of the country’s scientific and research capacity. This laboratory creates new opportunities for conducting scientific research in the fields of quantum technologies, modern electronics, information systems, and other priority scientific areas.
During the opening, it was noted that the Quantum Electronics Laboratory was established to conduct fundamental and applied research in the field of advanced functional materials. The main areas of the laboratory’s activities include the study of perovskite materials, photocatalysts, and phosphors, which are currently considered among the fastest-growing areas of science and technology.
It was noted that these materials play an important role in the development of solar energy, optoelectronics, modern sensors, lighting systems, and next-generation electronic devices. The main objective of the laboratory is to study the physical, chemical, electronic, and optical properties of these materials, improve methods for their synthesis, and assess the possibilities of their application in modern technologies.
It was emphasized that before the establishment of the laboratory, the opportunities for conducting scientific work were limited. Most experiments were carried out using basic equipment, and in order to determine the characteristics of materials or analyze the results, researchers were forced to rely on theoretical data or send samples to other scientific centers for analysis. This process required considerable time, increased the cost of research, and slowed the pace of scientific development. With the establishment of the laboratory and the creation of favorable conditions, it is now possible to carry out the synthesis of materials, sample preparation, and most experimental research within the laboratory itself. This enables researchers to obtain results more quickly, repeat and improve experiments, enhance the quality of scientific work, and involve students more actively in research activities.
The laboratory uses modern laboratory equipment, including high-temperature furnaces for material synthesis, magnetic stirrers, ultrasonic cleaners, a centrifuge, precision electronic scales, laboratory drying cabinets, power supplies, a pH meter, instruments for measuring electrical parameters, and essential equipment for sample preparation. This equipment makes it possible to control synthesis processes with high precision and prepare higher-quality samples for research.
Alongside experimental work, the laboratory also places particular emphasis on theoretical research. Computer modeling methods and quantum calculations are used to study the electronic structure and optical and physical properties of materials. Comparing computational results with experimental data makes it possible to gain a deeper understanding of the properties of materials and identify ways to improve their efficiency.
The research conducted in the laboratory is aimed at addressing important scientific and practical challenges, including the development of new perovskite materials for solar energy, the development of effective photocatalysts for water and environmental purification, as well as the creation of phosphors with high luminescence efficiency for lighting technologies. In the future, such a laboratory can become an important scientific center, making a valuable contribution to the development of high technologies, the training of highly qualified specialists, and the advancement of science in the country.
