Dr. Chandan Datta is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Jodhpur, where he joined in January 2024. He earned his B.Sc. in Physics from the University of Calcutta (2007–2010) and his M.Sc. in Physics from IIT Bombay in 2012. Dr. Datta completed his Ph.D. in 2018 at the Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar, specializing in quantum information theory under the guidance of Prof. Pankaj Agrawal.

Following his doctoral studies, Dr. Datta pursued postdoctoral research at the University of Warsaw, where he worked on superresolution imaging with Prof. Konrad Banaszek and explored quantum resource theories with Dr. Alexander Streltsov. He then moved to Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, joining Prof. Dagmar Bruß's group, where he focused on quantum error correction and mitigation.

Dr. Datta's research spans the broad field of quantum information and computation, with particular emphasis on quantum resource theories, quantum communication, quantum networks, quantum thermodynamics, quantum error correction, and quantum algorithms. At IIT Jodhpur, he is building a vibrant research group dedicated to advancing the theoretical foundations and practical applications of quantum technologies.

Our Research Group at IIT Jodhpur is a budding research team working in the field of theoretical quantum information and computation. The group’s primary interests lie in the characterization and quantification of quantum resources—such as entanglement, coherence, and magic—and exploring their roles in quantum protocols and computational tasks. While grounded in fundamental theory, the group’s work often connects to practical applications, aiming to deepen our understanding of how quantum resources can be harnessed to enhance information processing. As an active research group, we pursue a range of interconnected topics in the following key areas:

• Quantum Resource Theories
• Quantum Communications
• Quantum Networks
• Quantum Thermodynamics
• Quantum Algorithms
• Quantum Error Correction and Mitigation
