What we do
We study non-equilibrium many-body quantum systems using cutting-edge analytic and numerical techniques. Our work is focused towards Atomic, Molecular and Optical (AMO) experimental systems, which provide isolated, well-characterized and highly-controllable platforms to study exciting quantum phenomena. The work we do puts us at the coal-face of theory-experiment collaboration.

Kaustav Mukherjee
Post-doctoral researcher Dr. Kaustav Mukherjee completed his physics Ph.D. at IISER Bhopal in 2023. His research interests focus on the study of quantum many-body physics using Rydberg-based quantum simulator. The fundamental idea behind a quantum simulator is to exactly replicate a complex system Hamiltonian under complete experimental control, which in addition to providing a better understanding of the dynamics of the complex system, can be eventually used for technological advancement. The core focus of Kaustav's research is to use Rydberg based quantum simulators as a platform to understand slow relaxation dynamics in complex spin systems with functionalization of disorderedness and decoherence.

Sakshi Bahamnia
Graduate Student Sakshi is currently studying how qudits (a higher-dimensional generalization of the common qubit) can be used for quantum simulation. She studies this in optical tweezer arrays of Rydberg atoms using sophisticated phase-space methods like truncated Wigner approximation (TWA). Sakshi's research interests include quantum optics, quantum chemistry, open quantum systems and quantum information.
