                            <p>
                                Chandrashekar’s primary research interest is in the area of quantum information theory, quantum computing and to understand and simulate quantum phenomena in nature for better understanding of nature. Though he is primarily trained as a theorist, his interests in experiments has led him to establish an experimental group which is working on various projects related to quantum technology and probing foundational aspects of quantum physics using single and entangled photons. Some of the topics of expertise is listed below.
