Theses submitted to IISER Pune in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the BS-MS dual degree and Ph.D programmes. Also, project reports submitted by the students.
Quantum Mpemba Effect (QME) is a counterintuitive phenomenon in which the systems further away from the equilibrium tend to relax more quickly than if they were closer. There are different measures by which you can quantify ...
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a class of persistent, bioaccumulative, and highly mobile environmental contaminants that cause significant risks to ecosystems and human health due to their robust C–F bonds ...
Radio transients are short–duration bursts of radio emission produced by a wide range of astrophysical phenomena, from pulsars and magnetars to the recently discovered class of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). Studying these ...
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a lethal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the loss of motor neurons, leading to paralysis and death of the patient. Most cases are sporadic, while 10% of cases are familial. ...
Superconducting Quantum Processors require high fidelity and fast two-qubit gates for performing complex computations like Controlled-Z (CZ) but in a physical system, control lines and environment introduce signal distortion ...
In chapter 1: We start with introducing the field of quantum key distribution, the development done in it till the current date, the possible physical methods to to implement it in free space and to implement using the ...
Bin-Amphiphysin-Rvs (BAR) domain-containing proteins are known to play key roles in various cellular membrane remodeling processes. These proteins, using their membrane pliable properties and with the aid of multiple ...
This thesis addresses the search for quantum enhanced metrology with system that do not require all-to-all interactions, upon investigation it was identified that isotropic central spin model(CSM), which has a single ancilla ...
Serotonergic psychedelics are psychoactive substances with the capacity to alter one’s perception and mood via their action on the serotonin 5HT2A receptor. Recent studies have identified their potential as fast-acting ...
Granular materials are composed of discrete macroscopic particles and the empty spaces, or voids, between them. While the physical and geometric properties of the particle space are extensively studied, the void space is ...
We designed a novel and straightforward route for constructing 4-hydroxypyrazole frameworks via a Lewis acid mediated [3+2] cycloaddition of aryl diazoketones. Pyrazoles are very useful heterocycles and the pyrazole framework ...
Toric varieties form a subfield of algebraic geometry that provides with a lot of examples to test theory in, since a lot of their geometric data can be expressed as combinatoric information that is easier to compute and ...
Climate change and anthropogenic land-use change are both processes that threaten natural ecosystems. These global change drivers do not act in isolation, but interact with each other to affect biotic communities in complex ...
Previous work on the effects of tropical cyclones and near-inertial waves on the ocean and climate has mainly focused on the impacts of increasing diffusivity within the oceanic mixed layer. In this thesis, we show that ...
Malaria's impact on the human population has decreased in most of the world; however, there are still areas where malaria infectivity is high (especially in Africa and Indonesia), and the parasite has become resistant to ...
Black holes have been ubiquitous in current times, offering an unparalleled understanding of gravity and the mathematical elegance of General Relativity. Traditionally, the characterization of black holes has relied on ...
A central theme in geometry is the construction of characteristic classes of vector bundles from geometric data. This has its roots in Chern-Weil theory, where smooth connections and their curvature are used to construct ...
Nitrogen-vacancy centres in diamond are one of the most promising platforms for a wide range of applications due to their quantum sensing abilities, functionality at room temperature, and simple optical signal readout and ...
After Lie algebras were introduced by Sophus Lie, Elie Cartan gave the classification of semi-simple Lie algebras and began studying their representations by the early 20th century. The aim of this thesis is to survey the ...
The reaction of a diazene derivative of 1,8-naphthyridine with low-valent germanium halide precursors gave access to dichloro-digermylene [3] and a germylene in spiro geometry [4]. This synthetic route gives easy access ...
