My interest in the field of quantum information science is diversified into various topics, which broadly include:
1. Characterizing and quantifying quantum correlations in finite and infinite quantum systems.
2. Connecting quantum correlations to different quantum information protocols.
3. Studying the properties and behavior of quantum correlations in many-body quantum systems.
4. Characterization, quantification, and manipulation of non-classicality features in continuous variable quantum systems
I also work on contemporary research interests in the broad areas of quantum information science.
