Proton emission

When we keep adding protons for a fixed number of neutrons to a nucleus, we hit a limit and the nucleus emits protons from its ground state or isomeric state. This phenomenon provides a unique tool to investigate the properties of atomic nuclei in the extreme conditions. I am interested in developing the theoretical models to explore the structural properties and calculate the proton emission half-life of such nuclei.

Chirality

A system of valence proton and neutron outside the even-even core provides a condition for chiral doublet bands. Such bands are a unique indication of triaxiality in atomic nuclei. We have developed a nonadiabatic quasiparticle model to study such bands.

Collective neutrino oscillations

A core-collapse supernova is a rich source of neutrinos. In such dense environment neutrinos can undergo coherent forward scattering due to the neutrino-neutrino interaction. This phenomenon is a powerful tool to understand the explosion of supernova and the properties of the neutrinos.

Quantum computing

The Hilbert space of quantum many-body systems scales exponentially with the increase in number of particles. Therefore, solving such problems for realistic quantum systems which appear in nuclear physics, neutrino physics and other areas of science, on the conventional computers is an impossible task. Quantum computers are a promising tool in this direction where the above mentioned scaling is polynomial. I am interested in developing the quantum algorithms for solving the quantum many-body problems on the quantum computers.
