About

Currently, I am an assistant professor in physics at SRM University, Andhra Pradesh, India. My research interests lie primarily in the area of theoretical quantum optics and quantum information processing. I am dealing with problems that are fundamental as well as application-oriented.

Following are my research interests

Cavity QED

Coupled cavity array

Entanglement

Quantum information processing

Quantum optomechanics

Quantum interferometry

Quantum thermodynamics

Fundamentals of Quantum Optics

Also, I am looking forward to working on the problems in the following directions:

Quantum computation

Quantum algorithms
