It allows the health authorities to carry out large-scale screening within a few seconds. He has received his M.Sc (Physics) Degree from C.C.S University, Meerut, India, and M. Phil. (Instrumentation Physics) degree from Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee(IIT-R), Roorkee, India in 2000. He has completed his Ph.D. (Laser Physics) degree from the School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University(JNU), New Delhi, India in 2009. He has been worked as Assistant Professor at Delhi University, India in 2010 after that he moved to Paris, France, and joined Laboratoire Commun de Métrologie (LNE-INM/CNAM), La Plaine Saint-Denis (France) as a Post-Doctoral Fellow from 2010-2011. He has worked as Post-doctoral Research Associate (2011-2014) in Femtosecond Laser Laboratory, IISER Mohali, Punjab, India. He has been with the University College Cork and Tyndall National Institute from Jan 2015 to March 2017, where he was the senior Laser research staff. His research interest is in the field of ultrafast Laser and nonlinear Photonics with covers various fundamental and applicative aspects, in particular the understanding, manipulation, and control of ultrashort pulse. In May 2017, Dr. Kumar joined as a Disordered Photonics Research Fellow, Department of Physics and Astronomy, College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences, University of Exeter, England, United Kingdom. He was dealing with the problem of Prime Factorization problem with the light. Particularly, Design and development of a suitable optical setup to demonstrate Shor’s Algorithm experimentally. Optical systems are perhaps the most robust and fastest accessible system capable of dealing with Shor’s function. In this work, we have developed an optical platform of proof-of-concept experiments for period finding. We present experimental and numerical observations that demonstrate prime factorization based on Shor’s Algorithm using laser light. Scalability is one of the major strengths inherent in this DMD (digital micromirror device) based technique. Although this classical approach cannot compete with the quantum algorithm in terms of efficiency. Quantum entanglement can potentially be used as aimed at speeding up prime factorization for classical computers.
