Baladitya Suri - Assistant Professor, Principal Investigator
Embedded Files
Bala grew up mostly in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, where he did his schooling. He then joined IIT Madras for a B.Tech in Engineering Physics, following which he joined University of Maryland, College Park, USA for a PhD in Physics. After an initial stint in theoretical particle physics, he switched fields to pursue experimental quantum computation -- particularly superconducting circuits for quantum information processing. His doctoral thesis, supervised by Dr. Ben S. Palmer and Prof. Fred C. Wellstood, was titled "Transmon qubits coupled to superconducting lumped element resonators". Bala later moved to Prof. Per Delsing's Quantum Device Physics group in Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden in the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience. There he worked on the emerging field of Quantum Acoustics with superconducting circuits. Since March 2018 he has been at the Instrumentation and Applied Physics department at IISc as an Assistant Professor.
He is deeply interested in all aspects of Quantum Physics - Foundations, Computation, Simulation, Communication.
Apart from Physics, Bala is a keen practitioner of Music, Vedanta, Sanskrit, Mathematics, Chess and Tennis. Bala also speaks seven different languages with good fluency and looks to learn newer languages at every opportunity.

Arvind Mamgain (PhD Student) Arvind is from Srinagar Garhwal, a beautiful valley in Uttarakhand. He completed his graduation in physics(Hons) from Acharya Narendra Dev College, Delhi University in 2016. Then, he did his M.Sc in Physics from IIT Kanpur in the year 2018. He joined QTL@IISc as a Ph.D. student in Aug 2018 and is working with superconducting qubits for quantum information. He likes listening to music and his hobbies include running, trekking and cycling.
Siddhi Khaire (PhD student) did her BSc in Electronics from Fergusson College in Pune, followed by MSc in Electronics from University of Pune. She worked as a project fellow in IISER Pune for a year before joining QTL@IISc as a PhD student in Jan 2019. Her research interests are centred around quantum physics and its applications. At QTL, she is working on quantum information processing using superconducting qubits. Outside physics, she likes listening to music, especially Hindustani classical music and travelling.
Lipi Patel (PhD student) did her schooling from Jawahar Navodaya Vidhyalaya, Dantiwada in Gujarat. Then she did B.Sc in Physics from Sir P.T Sarvajanik College of Science, Surat followed by M.Sc Physics from the same college. Lipi is interested in quantum entanglement, quantum measurements, and applications. Lipi joined QTL@IISc as a Ph.D. student in August 2019. Apart from Physics, her hobbies include gardening and badminton.
Harsh Arora (PhD student , co-advised at CeNSE) - Harsh went to Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Bhopal for his BS-MS degree in Physics. Owing to an interest in Mathematical Physics, Harshworked on modelling Financial Instruments using established tools of Statistical and Quantum Physics during his Masters Thesis. Harsh subsequently joined the University of Washington to study Applied Mathematics but found happiness at Quantum Technology Lab at IISC. He works on Non-Markovian Physics and uses field theory techniques to model open quantum systems.
