Research Interests
My main research focus is to understand nontrivial physics, both theoretically and experimentally. The research projects on the quantum imaging of transparent objects with hyper-entangled photons comprised of continuous variable Einstein Podolsky Rosen entangled state and discrete variable polarization entangled state, non-trivial imaging in six-dimensional space and experiments of foundational significance have been completed successfully in March 2024.
The current research is focused on the applied aspects of quantum optics and quantum entanglement for quantum information processing and quantum computing. In parallel, new experiments on the foundations of quantum mechanics are continued.
I was fascinated by the concepts and electronic circuits of computing, electrical machines, signal processing, and fundamental physics when I was a school and undergraduate student. This combination of interests is rare however, it has been the guiding force since the beginning. A constant and unshakeable zeal inspired me, from early school days, to continue fundamental physics and electronics. In brief, my first successful experiments were on the realization of a steam turbine, an electromechanical oscillator and an electrochemical cell at the age of eleven.
My current research interests overlap with the foundational and applied regimes of physics. I designed experiments on my own, my workflow to design and realize Bose-Einstein condensation category of complex experiments is natural. I have established one of the best labs in the country for research on photon entanglement, foundations of quantum mechanics, quantum information processing, quantum optics and Bose-Einstein condensation.
