Dr. Prabha Mandayam (Associate Professor)

Research interests are in the area of quantum computing and quantum information theory. In particular, interested in quantum error correction, understanding the interplay between quantum foundations and quantum cryptography, and, using quantum information as a tool to explore fundamental questions in theoretical physics.

Dr. Siddharth Dhomkar (Assistant Professor)

My research interests are optical spins, magnetic resonance, machine learning for quantum control, and scanning confocal fluorescence microscopy. The following topics are currently being explored:

• T1-based quantum sensing with NV-nanodiamonds
• Investigating decoherence-free sub-spaces in diamond and hBN
• Understanding electron-nuclear dynamics for high-fidelity readout and nuclear hyperpolarization
• Developing methods for efficient simulation of superconducting qubits
• Defect generation and characterization
• Employing ML-based techniques for noise spectroscopy and mitigation
• Vector AC-magnetometry with NVs in diamond
• Optimal surface passivation of diamond
