Quantum Dynamics and Information Group at LSU

PI: Dr. Ahana Chakraborty

Address:

210-C Nicholson Hall, Tower Dr., Baton Rouge, LA 70803

Welcome!

The Quantum Dynamics and Information is a theoretical research group at Louisiana State University (LSU) led by Dr. Ahana Chakraborty. Ahana joined as an assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at LSU in 2024. She is a theoretical physicist working in condensed matter physics and quantum information science. Her research group broadly focuses on understanding quantum many-particle systems which are not in equilibrium, with special interests in the dynamics of open quantum systems and disordered systems.

Please visit Research page for a detailed summary of research interests of the group.

We are currently hiring motivated graduate, undergraduate students and postdoctoral associates. Please feel free to email for more information.

Current Research Interests:

Entanglement dynamics in many-body quantum systems: measurement-induced phase transitions in quantum circuit
Manipulation of quantum material by light: light-induced superconductivity and ferroelectricity, cavity QED with strongly correlated electrons
Developing efficient yet fast computational techniques tailored to driven strongly correlated materials subjected to dissipation
Dynamics of disordered systems and many-body localisation
Non-Markovian dynamics in open quantum systems
Phase-space representation of quantum systems

Tools: non-equilibrium field theory, real-time evolution of quantum circuit, exact diagonalization.
