Research Interests
As a theoretical physicist, my research interests lie at the forefront of quantum information science and technology. My current research focuses on several cutting-edge areas which are the following:
Photonic quantum memory: Photonic quantum memory is crucial for the development of reliable quantum networks, quantum repeaters, for on-demand single photon sources, and for on chip delay lines. This involves the study of Light-matter interactions, examining how photons interact with atoms and molecules to uncover new quantum phenomena and the ability to store and retrieve single photons on demand.
Measurement-based quantum computation: In measurement based quanutm computation, I investigate the potential of using entanglement and quantum measurements to perform complex computational tasks in photonic systems. My research in photonic quantum computation aims to harness the unique properties of photons for building scalable and efficient quantum computers.
Non-inertial effects on quantum systems: this involves understanding how quantum systems behave under acceleration or in gravitational fields, providing insights into the interplay between quantum mechanics and relativity.
Together, these research interests contribute to the advancement of quantum science, with implications for quantum computation and quantum communication.
