[edit] Career
Originally from the state of Orissa in India, Pati obtained his PhD from the University of Bombay, Mumbai. In 1989, he took up a position as a theoretical physicist in the Theoretical Physics Division, BARC, Mumbai, India. From 1998-2000, he was a visiting scientist and an EPSRC fellow at the University of Wales, Bangor, UK. He was a visiting scientist at the Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar, India. He is currently an associate professor at the Harish Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad, India.
[edit] Work
Along with Samuel L. Braunstein, he proved the quantum no-deleting theorem. His other important collaborative work with Braunstein includes the quantum no-hiding theorem. This has applications that include quantum teleportation, quantum state randomization, thermalization and the black hole information loss paradox. He also discovered the remote state preparation protocol in quantum information theory, which has been experimentally tested by several groups. He along with other scientists introduced the concept of geometric phase for mixed states. This has been experimentally measured by several groups around the world.
[edit] Honors
Pati is the recipient of the India Physics Association Award for Young Physicist of the Year (2000) and the Indian Physical Society Awards for Young Scientists (1996). His research has been featured in news items in Nature and Science. He is also recipient of Samanta Chandra Sekhar Award for the year 2009 from Orissa Bigyan Academy, Bhubaneswar, Orissa.
