quantum teleportation with the first formulation
of teleportation witness operators, as well as fidelity improvement of teleportation through noisy environments using weak measurements.
Alongside, state-of-the-art laboratory facilities have been developed for cutting edge experimental activity in this field, such as on laser interferometry, ultrafast spectroscopy and high magnetic field systems. Research at SNBNCBS on terahertz spectroscopy, spintronics, nanophotonics and nanofabrication is now internationally recognized. Notable breakthroughs include first measurements of spin dynamics of magnetic multilayer, and ultrafast spin dynamics of nanowires.
Recently, non-invasive generation of pure
spin current has been demonstrated. Moreover, the institute’s work on quantum uncertainty relations has motivated applications in quantum steering and bounds of secret key rate of quantum communication. The first protocol for one-sided device-independent self-testing has been proposed and experimentally implemented. Fundamental understanding of the quantum wave function
has been enhanced by constraints on general probabilistic theories. Theoretical ideas developed here have been experimentally tested in labs around the world such as Hamamatsu photonics, CQIQC, KAIST, USTC, PRL, CNRS.
Materials via Modelling and Simulation:
A vigorous computational activity has been developed based on computational resources that
have been created with support of DST through setting up of Advanced Materials Research Unit and Thematic Unit of excellence on Computational Materials Science within the National mission on Nanoscience. The computational activity in centre has attracted several bilateral collaborations across the world, which included US, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Austria, Japan, Korea and Russia.
Research has been devoted in understanding electronic properties, namely the magnetic, optical, capacitive properties in bulk and nanoscale, developing the structure-property relations, prediction of new functionalities in known materials, and predicting new materials all together. Effort has been put forward in study of quantum entanglement in strongly correlated systems and also in developing new algorithm and implementing the new numerical methods for solving the strongly correlated electron systems. The computation carried out by the researchers addressed the dynamics of charge-stabilized colloidal particles
