Amit, a.k.a. Vikram, received a B. Tech. in Engineering Physics from the Indian Institute of Technology Madras in 2018, and Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Maryland, College Park in 2024. He joined the group as a postdoc in September 2024.
His research focuses on the dynamics of complex quantum systems (often called “quantum chaos”) and its close two-way symbiotic relationships with statistical mechanics, quantum information, and quantum gravity. He is especially interested in developing a conceptual understanding of aspects of quantum dynamics that have been particularly mystifying (e.g., ergodicity, thermalization, information scrambling, complexity), exploring both their fundamental theoretical relevance and applications/accessibility in experiments, with the latter providing a crucial litmus test for which concepts are of more immediate operational interest.
Amit’s hobbies tend to revolve around keyboards and mice, including playing the piano and playing video games, reading books or just random facts online, listening to music and some casual coding, when he isn’t just staring off into the (preferably night) sky. He also allegedly has a penchant for verbosity.
