Quantum Mechanics (QM) is the most fundamental physical theory for describing nature. Despite its success in explaining a wide range of physical phenomena, several of its core aspects are still not fully understood. Wherever QM is applied, the lack of understanding of its conceptual foundations and its inherent mathematical structure compared to classical physics remains to be a significant impediment to the progress of modern physics. A recurring theme in the field of “Quantum Foundations” is to study the interplay between QM’s operational aspects (what one can observe in experiment) and its ontological aspects (what is reality).

On the other hand, a new trend, since 1970, incorporating different features of QM and the basic principles of information theory led to the birth of a new topic of interest- “Quantum Information Theory”. The field of quantum information has roots in the field of quantum foundations and has led to numerous approaches to address the foundational problems of quantum mechanics. The two fields remain deeply intertwined till today.

Currently, we are interested in the following topics:

• Quantum Entanglement
• Bell Nonlocality.
• Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Paradox.
• Quantum Teleportation, Entanglement Swapping, Quantum Repeaters.
• Classical Limits of Quantum Mechanics.
• Quantum Measurements.
• Proposals to Test Quantum Gravity.
• Quantum Communication Protocols.
