Arnab joined the CHX (11-ID) beamline as a Research Associate Physics in September 2024 on the "Quantum Dynamics" project. The project is based on studying fluctuations originating due to quantum entanglement in condensed matter systems. His current research interests lies in ergodicity breaking, quantum coherence, topological magnetism, ultrafast pump-probe, spatio-temporal heterogeneity and dynamical phase transitions in strongly correlated systems and magnetic materials.
