Hi, I'm Abhisek,
Welcome to my webpage! I am a theoretical physicist currently working at the IIT Gandhinagar.
My research interests lie in Condensed Matter Physics, focusing on strongly correlated quantum many-body systems. When a large number of quantum particles come together and interact, their collective behavior gives rise to various “emergent” phases, such as magnetic, insulating, topological, or even novel superconducting states. I study such phenomena theoretically in quantum materials, with applications ranging from high-temperature superconductors to the design of quantum devices and technologies for quantum information.
My research spans a broad area of condensed matter physics, employing a variety of modern analytical and computational techniques. These include methods borrowed from quantum field theory and statistical mechanics tools, such as classical and quantum Monte Carlo simulations.
In addition to addressing purely theoretical questions, I enjoy collaborating with experimentalists to connect theory with real-world observations.
Specific Research Topics:
- Superconductivity in thin-films and nanowires – Applications in Superconducting Qubits and Quantum Computations
- Frustrated magnetism, altermagnetism
- Quantum transport theory: Calculation of Hall, thermopower, Nernst coefficients
- Entanglement, Many-body localization (MBL), and Quantum Information
- Quantum Hall Effects in Graphene
- Quantum oscillations in Kondo insulators
- Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model and Large-N theories
- Quantum criticality in compressible lattice; Renormalization Group (RG) analysis
