      In this thesis we study the time dependence of correlators such as Green function, entanglement (Renyi) entropy and mutual information following quantum quench in Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) and their holographic duals ...
    • Asymptotic Analysis of Multi-scale, Multi-loop Feynman Diagrams 

      Sarkar, Ratan
      It is very challenging to solve multi-scale, multi-loop Feynman diagrams analytically. The presence of different kinematic scales makes the computation of Feynman diagrams very difficult, sometimes impossible to get the ...
    • Chiral Phase Transition Temperature in 3-flavor QCD

      Nandy, Pratik
      In recent years, complexity and entanglement have emerged as two fundamental computational measures and played a significant role in shaping our understanding of various phenomena, from the geometric nature of quantum ...
    • Complexity and Randomness in the Dynamics of Quantum Systems 

      Nath, Pingal Pratyush
      This thesis explores two complementary facets of quantum dynamics: the growth of operator complexity in open quantum systems and the certification of quantum randomness from temporal correlations in single-qubit dynamics. ...
    • Conformal Bootstrap : Old and New 

      Kaviraj, Apratim (2018-05-25)
      Conformal Field Theories (CFT) are Quantum Field Theories characterized by enhanced (conformal) symmetries. They are interesting to Theoretical Physicists because they occur at critical points in phase transitions of various ...
    • Dipole Cosmology: Revisiting Our Universe with a Flow 

      Mondol, Ranjini
      In this thesis, we explore an ansatz alternative to the FLRW classes of spacetimes for our Universe, in light of observations that exhibit anisotropies at late times. Despite the existence of these anisotropies beyond ...

      Lahiri, Jayita
      The Standard Model (SM) of particle physics has been remarkably successful to describe strong, weak and electromagnetic forces of nature, as it has agreed with most of the experiments till date. However, there are still ...
    • An Efficient Quantum Algorithm and Circuit to Generate Eigenstates Of SU(2) and SU(3) Representations 

      Sainadh, U Satya (2018-04-18)
      Many quantum computation algorithms, and processes like measurement based quantum computing, require the initial state of the quantum computer to be an eigenstate of a specific unitary operator. Here we study how quantum ...
