معرفی
Rahul Jain is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the National University of Singapore (NUS), School of Computing. He was promoted to full Professor from January 2020, having previously served as Associate Professor (July 2013-July 2013) and Assistant Professor (November 2008-July 2013). He is also a Principal Investigator at the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT), Singapore since November 2008.
Dr. Jain earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai (2003) and B.Tech. in Electrical & Electronics Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai (1997). Prior to joining NUS, he conducted postdoctoral research at UC Berkeley (2004-2006) and at the Institute for Quantum Computing, University of Waterloo, Canada (2006-2008).
His research spans quantum computation, information theory, complexity theory, communication complexity, and cryptography. Dr. Jain has made significant contributions to quantum information theory, particularly in quantum communication complexity, quantum key distribution, and quantum algorithms. His work bridges theoretical computer science with quantum information processing, exploring fundamental limits of quantum computation and communication. His research demonstrates strong expertise in both theoretical proofs and practical applications of quantum information principles.
Analysis of Dr. Jain's recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a consistent focus on quantum cryptography foundations, quantum communication protocols, and quantum information theory. His work frequently appears in top theoretical computer science venues including FOCS, STOC, and QIP, as well as leading journals like IEEE Transactions on Information Theory. Key themes include non-malleable quantum codes, quantum state redistribution, quantum communication complexity, and quantum cryptographic protocols with rigorous security proofs.
