About the Author

Jaya Prakash had graduated from Amrita School of Engineering with a Bachelors of Technology (B.Tech.) in Information Technology in 2010. Next, he had spent three years of his student life at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), Bengaluru where he obtained my M.Sc. (Engineering) in computational sciences and Ph.D. (as a Microsoft Fellow) in optical image reconstructions/inverse problems in 2012 and 2014 respectively. Later, he moved to Munich as a Group Leader and Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Institute for Biological and Medical Imaging (IBMI), Helmholtz Zentrum München and at the Chair for Biological Imaging, Technical University Munich, where he worked till 2018. He has also worked closely with industries like Shell Technology Center-Bengaluru, iThera Medical-Munich, and Tosibha Embedded Software Limited-Bengaluru. He joined the Department of Instrumentation and Applied Physics, IISc in 2019 as an Assistant Professor.

Tapajyoti Das Gupta obtained his BSc and Btech in Physics and Radio physics respectively from University of Calcutta in 2006 and 2009. He then moved to France where he obtained his MSc in nanoscience from École Polytechnique (l’X) in 2012 and PhD in Condensed Matter Physics lab (PMC) from the same institute in 2015 under Prof. Thierry GACOIN and Alistair ROWE. He then joined prof. Fabien Sorin’s lab of Fiber Optics and Photonics Devices (FIMAP) in École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) during 2015 December-2019 November. He also served in the Electrical Engineering department in Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IITK) for five months from January 2020 to May 2020, before joining the Department of Instrumentation and Applied Physics in July 2020.

CM Chandrashekar is a graduate from National Collage (Jayanagar), Bangalore university (B.Sc) and and after graduation he moved to University of Oxford on Rhodes Scholarship in the year 2002. At Oxford he worked on Experimental Bose-Einstein condensates for slightly over two years and moved to Institute for Quantum Computing / Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics, Canada (University of Waterloo). At Waterloo he worked on theoretical problems in the field of quantum information theory and quantum computation and obtained PhD. in the year 2009. After completing his his postdoctoral tenure at Ireland and Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, Japan he moved The Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai as faculty member (2015 – ). He is also recipient of Ramanujan Fellowship (2015) and an affiliate member at the Institute for Quantum Computing, Canada. Starting from early 2021 he has setup a quantum optics and quantum information processing laboratory at dept. of IAP and working on both, theoretical and experimental problems in the field of quantum information processing and quantum computation. He is also interesting in foundations of quantum mechanics.

Manukumara Manjappa received his Integrated M.Sc in physics from University of Mysore, India in 2009 and M.S (Research) from National University of Singapore in 2013. He joined Prof. Ranjan Singh’s lab at NTU Singapore, where he got his Ph.D degree for the work on reconfigurable terahertz devices in 2019. He did his initial postdoctoral works from 2019-2021 at the center for disruptive photonic technologies (CDPT), NTU Singapore in the supervision of Prof. Ranjan Singh and Prof. Nikolay Zheludev. He later joined Prof. Junichiro Kono’s lab at Rice University, USA as a postdoctoral research associate from 2021-2022, where he worked on quantum photonics experiments in carbon nanotubes. He joined the Instrumentation and Applied Physics department as an Assistant Professor in Nov. 2022. His research

interests include ultrafast spectroscopy, ultrastrong polaritonics, cavity quantum materials, metamaterials, THz spintronics and quantum photonics.
