Arun K. Pati

Arun Kumar Pati (ଅରୁଣ କୁମାର ପତି) is an Indianphysicist notable for his research in quantum informationand computation, the theory of geometric phases and itsapplications, and the foundations of quantum mechanics.He is considered a pioneer in the field of quantum infor-mation and quantum computation in India.

1 Career

Originally from the state of Orissa in India, Pati obtainedhis PhD from the University of Bombay, Mumbai. In1989, he took up a position as a theoretical physicistin the Theoretical Physics Division, BARC, Mumbai,India. From 1998-2000, he was a visiting scientist andan EPSRC fellow at the University of Wales, Bangor,UK. He was a visiting scientist at the Institute of Physics,Bhubaneswar, India from 2001-2010. Currently, he is aProfessor of Quantum Information at the Harish ChandraResearch Institute, Allahabad, India since 2011.[1] He ishonored with K. P. Chair Professor at Zhejiang Univer-sity, Hangzhou, China during the period 2013-2015. [2]

2 Work

Along with Samuel L. Braunstein, he proved the quantumno-deleting theorem. His other important collaborativework with Braunstein includes the quantum no-hidingtheorem. This has applications that include quantum tele-portation, quantum state randomization, thermalizationand the black hole information loss paradox. The no-hiding theorem has been experimentally tested and thisis a clear demonstration of the conservation of quantuminformation. He also discovered the remote state prepa-ration protocol in quantum information theory, which hasbeen experimentally tested by several groups. He alongwith other scientists introduced the concept of geomet-ric phase for mixed states. This has been experimentallymeasured by several groups around the world.[3]

3 Honors

Pati is the recipient of the India Physics AssociationAward for Young Physicist of the Year (2000) and theIndian Physical Society Awards for Young Scientists(1996). He is also recipient of Samanta Chandra SekharAward for the year 2009 from Orissa Bigyan Academy,

Bhubaneswar, Orissa. He is an elected Fellow of the In-dian Academy of Science, Bangalore. He also has beenelected as the Fellow of “The National Academy of Sci-ences, India in 2013.[4] His research has been featured innews items in Nature and Science.
