Aditi Mitra

Aditi Mitra is a Professor of Physics at New York University (NYU) and serves as the Director of the Center for Quantum Phenomena. Her research spans strongly correlated systems, topological states of matter, quantum phase transitions, nanoscale physics, and nonequilibrium phenomena.

• B.Sc., Physics, Presidency College, Calcutta (1993)
• M.Sc., Physics, Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (1995)
• Ph.D., Physics, Indiana University, Bloomington (2002)

Her work focuses on quantum dynamics under periodic driving (Floquet systems), including topological defects, Majorana modes, and non-equilibrium criticality. She explores phenomena like information scrambling, thermalization, and edge state stability in driven systems.

Recent publications highlight her contributions to Floquet topological systems, strong zero modes, and disorder-induced phase transitions. Her research bridges theoretical physics and quantum computing, particularly in Majorana fermions and time crystals.

• Mercator Guest Professor, University of Cologne (2022)
• Fellow, American Physical Society (2018)
• Simons Fellow in Theoretical Physics (2013)

As a faculty member at NYU since 2006, she leads the Center for Quantum Phenomena and has received prestigious honors. While no direct student names are listed, her work influences quantum mechanics and condensed matter research.
