RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
My research interests have been in Quantum Physics. I have been working on solutions of quantum wave equations and confinement influence of external fields on particles with applications to atomic and molecular systems. Some already published results can be found in Molecular Physics 120 (2022), e2098195, Physical Review E 93 (2016) 053201, Annals of Physics 353 (2015) 282, etc.
Within the last few years, I have also been working on scrutinizing applications of quantum entanglement in various quantum information processing. Specifically, examining the role of quantum noise and that of quantum entanglement in quantum information processing and quantum metrology. Some already published results include Scientific Reports 13(2023) 8066, Scientific Reports 7 (2017) 16622, Front. Phys. 12 (2017) 120306, Phys. Lett. A 381 (2017) 581, Laser Physics 30 (2020) 115206
