India'S Physics Prodigy: Unlocking Cosmic Secrets, Inspiring Future Generations

Born in Bihar, India, this physicist is very smart and learns quickly, like the kid in the movie "Little Man Tate". In 1998, at only 10, he got his science degree from Patna Science College. This was a big deal, like the excitement around the 1996 Olympics. In 2000, at 12, he finished his Master of Science degree at Patna University. Then, he went to the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore and got his PhD in physics in 2009. He studies quantum computing and quantum information theory. People who work with him say he thinks in new ways and understands hard ideas easily. One professor said, "He really knows quantum mechanics." He shows how important it is to help young smart people and is a great example of intelligence in physics. He now works as a professor at IIT Patna.
