It's a great privilege to interact with the research groups of Prof. Prabha Mandayam and Prof. Arul Lakshminarayan. Other quantum groups at IIT Madras include those of Prof. Rajesh Narayanan, Prof. Pradeep Sarvepalli, Prof. Anil Prabhakar and Prof. Lakshmibala, while close interactions with my theory colleagues such as Ashwin Joy are valuable. I am a part of the Center for Quantum information, Computing and Cryptography (CQuICC) as well as the Center for Quantum Information Theory.
