Astronomy and Astrophysics

We study the intergalactic medium (IGM) and its role in shaping cosmic structure, along with the extragalactic background light and the reionization of hydrogen and helium. Using observations of the earliest galaxies, we investigate galaxy formation and evolution. Our work also extends to the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), focusing on technosignatures. Additionally, we study space biology, exploring how life adapts to extreme environments beyond Earth.

Condensed Matter Physics

We are actively engaged in both experimental and theoretical condensed matter physics research. Here, we aim to uncover unique quantum phenomena in condensed matter systems, contributing to both fundamental understanding and potential applications in quantum materials and devices. We also employ a combination of materials synthesis and advanced experimental techniques, such as magnetization measurements, electrical transport studies, and thermal property analysis, to probe and understand the fundamental properties of novel condensed matter systems.

Computational Soft Matter Physics

Our research focuses on statistical physics, soft matter, complex systems, phase behavior, and the rheology of amorphous solids. We utilize molecular computer simulations to investigate both experimental and theoretical aspects of these physical systems. With a strong background in modeling at the atomistic level, we are interested in developing various algorithms and codes for large-scale molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations.

High Energy Phenomenology (HEP-PH)

We grapple with questions like what is the nature of dark matter? Why there is no significant amount of anti-matter in the universe anywhere we look? We work on building models and proposing new probes to find some of the answers to these questions.

Plasma Physics

The Plasma Processing Lab (PPL) at IIT Tirupati conducts fundamental and applied research on atmospheric pressure low-temperature plasmas. It brings together experts from various fields to study plasma diagnostics, modeling, and reactive species. This knowledge aids in developing plasma-based solutions for environmental, material, food, and agriculture applications. Equipped with advanced instruments, the lab explores plasma physics through experiments and data analysis.

Precision laser spectroscopy, Quantum Optics, Quantum communication, Quantum Sensing and metrology

Our research group focuses on developing novel laser spectroscopy tools to address key problems in fundamental physics. We also develop practical quantum technology applications in quantum communications as well as quantum sensing and metrology. Primarily, we are working towards the development of networked quantum memories for quantum communication applications. We are also developing portable atomic clocks for Positioning, Navigation and precision Timing (PNT) applications.

Spin-Photon based quantum technologies

Our research group focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and applications of solid-state quantum bits (qubits). We primarily work on telecom-band silicon-based spin-photon qubits, aiming to develop realistically scalable quantum computers. Our research combines advanced material (semiconductors) engineering with quantum information science to enable the next generation of quantum technologies.

Dr. Kaushalya Jhuria

Theoretical Quantum Information and computation

The primary interest of the group is twofold. The first is to develop and understand the non-commutative extension of classical probability theory and to identify the differences from that of classical theory (Quantization). The second is to use the techniques and tools of QIC to understand fundamental physics (It from Qbit). In particular, we are working on multi-partite entanglement theory, many-body quantum dynamics, foundations of quantum computational advantage, quantum thermodynamics, quantum dynamical systems, and quantum foundations.

Ultrafast Quantum Dynamics

We work on developing theory and computational methods to model ultrafast electron dynamics in many body systems that can be probed using attosecond lasers and free electron lasers.
