I am interested in all things quantum. My research interests lie in and around the following * Quantum Information * Condensed Matter * Quantum Optics Particularly, I find myself fascinated by problems at the intersection of two or more of these fields. I also quite like quantum machine learning, and topics revolving around that. I enjoy thinking about problems in quantum dynamics which hold information/coding theortic aspects as well. This has led to a natural inclination towards many-body physics and quantum error correction. <br> <br>
