Dr. Aranya Bhattacharya

I am a postdoctoral researcher working on theoretical Physics. My main research interests are quantum gravity, holography and quantum information. I try to understand how the quantum version of information is stored in physical systems, from simple quantum mechanical ones to the most complicated ones involving black holes. While I am also developing new ideas and methods for quantifying quantum information theoretic quantities, e.g. entanglement and complexity in most straightforward quantum mechanical systems, the central machinery to apply those ideas systematically within quantum gravity and black hole setups is the famously known holography or AdS/CFT correspondence. This correspondence relates a gravity theory to a quantum field theory (physically closer to quantum mechanical systems) living on the boundary of the gravity theory. I am also interested in exploring the connections between condensed matter and holographic systems through the window of quantum information. This connection enables one to study signatures of holography within much more tractable and sometimes experimentally available setups.
