Research Experience and Projects
Complexity Growth and the Krylov-Wigner function Sept. 2023 - present
Prof. Onkar Parrikar, Professor, TIFR, Mumbai
For any state in D-dimensional Hilbert space with a choice of basis, one can define a discrete version of Wigner
function with the help of Krylov basis. The negativity of Wigner function is studied for precise correlation in
quantum computation. The Wigner is introduced with respect to Krylov basis and time evolution of negativity is
studied. Krylov basis which is ideally suited for a dual description of chaotic quantum dynamics at large D is
studied under the light of AdS/CFT correspondence.
Dark Matter Phenomenology Jan 2023 - May 2023
Dr. Suchita Kulkarni, Professor, Institut für Physik, University of Graz, Austria
Singlet Scalar Extension of the Standard Model: Study of dark matter stability from a spontaneously broken global
group. The project also aims at understanding the abundance of dark matter as well as studying potential direct
detection experiments. Candidate dark matter particles are studied and modeled.
Review of the Standard Model Aug 2022 - Dec 2022
Dr. Suchita Kulkarni, Professor, Institut für Physik, University of Graz, Austria
This reading project aims at understanding the basics of the Standard Model and the framework behind it.
Starting from Quantum electrodynamics, chromodynamics and weak interactions. The project also covers some
basic part of the electroweak theory.
Computational Techniques modelling Electromagnetic Phenomena Summer 2022
Dr. Bhoosan Paradkar, Assistant Professor, UM-DAE CEBS, Mumbai
This project aims at modeling the Maxwell’s equations and studying the dynamics of charged particle interaction
in different configurations.
