Current Research
Research interests are in theoretical aspects of dynamical systems, Hamiltonian and quantum chaotic systems, quantum information, especially entanglement, quantum walks, many-body physics, including MBL, ETH and thermalization, random matrix theory and its applications. Quantum combinatorics, OTOCs, tensor networks and dual quantum circuits are some recent (2021) aspects of my work.
