Post Doctoral Fellow, NQM
Dr. Mithilesh K. Parit, PhD Research Interest: AMO Physics, Ultracold Atoms, Quantum Optics, Quantum Information, and Nonlinear Optics. Dr. M. K. Parit completed his PhD in AMO Physics at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), Hong Kong. Also worked at Institut d’Optique Graduate School Palaiseau, France on 39K experimental setup in the atom optics group before joining the PhD
His academic journey began with a 5 Year BS-MS Dual Degree in Physics at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata, a premier institute for Basic Sciences in India. He was an INSPIRE Fellow awarded by the Department of Science & Technology, GoI, during his undergraduate studies at IISER Kolkata (2013-2018). Mr. Parit worked at Institut d’Optique Graduate School Palaiseau, France on 39K experimental setup in the atom optics group before joining the PhD. His primary research interest lies in exploring the connection between theory and experiment. His PhD research combines both experimental and theoretical approaches to study dipolar quantum gases of erbium atoms. He has significant experience in simulating the extended Gross-Pitaevskii equation (eGPE), quantum spin systems, and finding analytical solutions to nonlinear equations. Currently, he is a Post-Doctoral Fellow under the supervision of Prof. Raghavan K. Easwaran at IIT Patna in a National Quantum Mission research project. Here, Dr. Parit is investigating EIT in cold-atom systems using 2D MOT of Rb atoms.
