I am a Professor
in the Department of Physics at
the Indian Institute of Technology,
Madras. Previously, I have been an Inspire faculty fellow at the Chennai Mathematical Institute and a
Post-doctoral Fellow with the Optics and Quantum Information Group at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences. I
obtained my PhD in Physics from the Institute
for Quantum Information and Matter at Caltech under the supervision of John
Preskill.
My research
interests are in the area of quantum computing and quantum information
theory. In particular, I am interested in quantum error correction,
understanding the interplay between quantum foundations and quantum
cryptography, and, using quantum information as a tool to explore
fundamental questions in theoretical physics.
If you are
interested in working with me on any of these topics, please send me email!
News: Happy to share that I have been selected
as a Young Associate of the Indian National Science Academy (INSA)
for 2026!
