Research
The area of my research includes the interface of quantum information and graph theory. Ideas from graph theory find a rich breeding ground for investigations into quantum communication and computation. For instance, graph theory builds up a foundation for quantum state transfer, quantum walk, and many other problems related to quantum network. In graph theory, I am interested in constructing cospectral graphs, and characteristics of Ihara zeta functions, and graph machine learning.

Visualization of quantum states and their properties with combinatorial graphs
A quantum state is represented by a density matrix, which is a positive semidefinite, Hermitian matrix with unit trace. The Laplacian matrices of a combinatorial graph are also a positive semidefinite and Hermitian matrices. Therefore, a normalized Laplacian matrix can be considered as a density matrix of a quantum state. This observation allows us to describe a combinatorial graph as a graphical representation of the quantum state. We investigated different properties of quantum states in terms of graph-theoretic parameters.

Quantum hypergraph states and their characteristics
A graph state is a multi-qubit state represented by a graph. The vertices of the graph represent the qubits. We draw an edge between every interacting pair of qubits. Graph states are used in quantum error-correcting codes. They are useful for characterizing computational resources in measurement-based quantum computing. In combinatorics, a hypergraph is a generalization of graphs. A hypergraph consists of vertices and hyperedges. A hyperedge is a set of vertices, that is a generalization of the edges in a graph. In a similar vein, we can generalize graph states to hypergraph states which is also a multi-qubit quantum state associated with a hypergraph. They are essential in different tasks in quantum computing. We investigated quantum entanglement and other quantum correlations for these states.

Construction of non-isomorphic cospectral graphs
In spectral graph theory, we represent a graph by a matrix M where M can be the adjacency matrix, Laplacian matrix, signless Laplacian matrix, etc. associated to the graph. Spectra of an M-matrix of a graph is called the M-spectra of the graph. Two isomorphic graphs have equal M-spectra, but the converse is not valid. Constructing large classes of non-isomorphic pairs of graphs with equal M-spectra is an interesting problem in graph theory. We utilized the partial transpose, a prominent tool in quantum information theory, for generating non-isomorphic graphs with equal M-spectra for different M.

Quantum walk and state transfer
There are different proposals for quantum walk on graphs. The continuous-time quantum walk, the discrete-time quantum walk, the Szegedy quantum walk, and the open quantum walk are a few well-known proposals of quantum walks. All these models are designed on underlined graph structures. The quantum Perfect State Transfer (PST) is an essential tool in quantum communication. Due to interaction between different spin objects state of one spin becomes transferred to another spin. We represent the spins by vertices. When two spin interacts we draw an edge between the corresponding vertices. There is a connection between quantum walk and perfect state transfer. The standard idea of PST is related to continuous time quantum walk. Finding new graphs supporting PST is an interesting problem.
