Ahana Chakraborty
Welcome!
I am a theoretical physicist working in condensed matter physics and quantum information science. Currently, I am Abrahams Postdoctoral Associate at Center for Materials Theory, Rutgers University, New Jersey, USA. My research focuses on quantum many-particle systems which are not in equilibrium, with special interests in dynamics of open quantum systems and disordered systems.
I will join as an assistant professor (tenure-track) at Louisiana State University, LA, USA in 2024 and start my research group on "Quantum Dynamics and Information". Please visit Research page for a detailed summary of my research interests.
Broad Research Interests:
Entanglement dynamics in many-body quantum systems: measurement-induced phase transitions in quantum circuit
Manipulation of quantum material by light: cavity QED with strongly correlated electrons, light-induced superconductivity and ferroelectricity
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.
