Oh Reality! What are you?

Welcome! I am a physicist with the Poornaprajna Institute of Scientific Research, and a visiting scientist at the Light and Matter Physics Group, Raman Research Institute.

Areas of interest

1. Quantum information theory, especially cryptography; the entropic approach uncertainty principle: number-phase uncertainty.
2. Open quantum system effects in quantum information theory: the squeezed generalized amplitude damping channel; two-qubit noise processes.
3. Foundations of quantum mechanics: Understanding physics from an information and computation theoretic perspective: exploring the relationship between quantum speed-up and complexity of states; that between nonlocality and uncertainty; deriving quantum physics from computational or physially inspired axioms;
4. Philosophy of Science: free will, and its implications for physics and neuroscience; in quantum physics: Individuation & identity; ontic vagueness vs. epistemic uncertainty vs. semantic indecision.
