Quantum Computing - It's quirky, it's new, and it's the future. Dr R Vijayaraghavan, as an exemplar of the Indian effort, explains the concepts and the scale and extrapolates the implications and possibilities. Transcending the frontiers literally, Dr. Rajamani Vijayaraghavan is a living idol for your next-door quantum physics geek. He is an Associate Professor, and former Reader at Dept. of Condensed Matter Physics at TIFR, Mumbai. He had been a UC Berkeley Postdoctoral Scholar and holds a PhD from Yale. Recently, he won a 5-year grant (as co-PI) from the DRDO, a recent feather on his decorated research cap. A St. Stephen's (DU) alumnus, he is currently working at the QuMaC Laboratory at TIFR, aiming to tackle the fundamental challenges in building and controlling quantum systems. He is one of the prime Indian faces making inroads in the quantum frontier, having already built a three-qubit processor. He also has, we hear, an interest in studying acoustics.
