Arun Kumar PatiResidence India Nationality Indian Fields Physicist Institutions Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar Alma mater University of Bombay Known for Quantum no-deleting theorem Arun Kumar Pati (ଅରୁଣ କୁମାର ପତି) is a physicist notable for his research in quantum information and computation, the theory of geometric phases and its applications, and the foundations of quantum mechanics.
Contents
Education
He obtained his PhD from the University of Bombay, Mumbai, India.
Career
In 1989, he took up a position as a theoretical physicist in the Theoretical Physics Division, BARC, Mumbai, India. From 1998-2000, he was a visiting scientist and an EPSRC fellow at the University of Wales, Bangor, UK. He was a visiting scientist at the Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar, India. He is currently an associate professor at the Harish Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad, India. A.K.Pati's profile on HRI.
Work
He is known for the quantum no-deleting theorem. He also discovered the remote state preparation protocol in quantum information theaory, which has been experimentally tested by several groups. He along with other scientists introduced the concept of geometric phase for mixed states. This has been experimentally measured by several groups around the world. Recently Arun K. Pati along with Samuel L. Braunstein have proved the no-hiding theorem in quantum information theory. This has applications that include quantum teleportation, quantum state randomization, thermalization and the black hole information loss paradox.
Honors
Pati is the recipient of the India Physics Association Award for Young Physicist of the Year (2000) and the Indian Physical Society Awards for Young Scientists (1996). His research has been featured in news items in Nature and Science.
He is also recipient of Samanta Chandra Sekhar Award for the year 2009 from Orissa Bigyan Academy, Bhubaneswar, Orissa.
