Page 332 of Ramanujan's Lost Notebook contains a compelling identity for $\zeta(1/2)$, which has been studied by many mathematicians over the years. On the same page, Ramanujan also recorded the series, \begin{align*} \frac{1^r}{\exp(1^s x)…

This is an elementary explanation of a cubic composition formula due to Ramanujan.
Ramanujan derived the well known divergent-sum of integers in more than one way. We generalise the informal method to higher powers of the Riemann zeta function through a study of the Eulerian numbers in particular. Within the context of…
This is a self-contained set of lecture notes covering various aspects of the theory of open quantum system, at a level appropriate for a one-semester graduate course. The main emphasis is on completely positive maps and master equations,…
An aperiodic (low frequency) spectrum may originate from the error term in the mean value of an arithmetical function such as M\"obius function or Mangoldt function, which are coding sequences for prime numbers. In the discrete Fourier…
The theory of Mellin transform is an incredibly useful tool in evaluating some of the well known results for the zeta function. Ramanujan in his quarterly reports \cite{1} gave a theorem for Mellin transform which is now known as…
We revisit quantum tomography in an informationally incomplete scenario and propose improved state reconstruction methods using deep neural networks. In the first approach, the trained network predicts an optimal linear or quadratic…
In this paper, we evaluate in closed forms two families of infinite integrals containing hyperbolic and trigonometric functions in their integrands. We call them Berndt-type integrals since he initiated the study of similar integrals. We…
This paper gives a short but reasonably comprehensive review of Ramanujan's {_1\psi_1} summation and its generalisations. It covers the history of Ramanujan's summation, simple applications to sums of squares and orthogonal polynomials,…
We present a conceptually clear introduction to quantum theory, deriving the theory from scratch from the point of view of quantum information. Different subsets of these lectures were taught to a wide variety of audiences, including…

Quantum computing is the process of performing calculations using quantum mechanics. This field studies the quantum behavior of certain subatomic particles for subsequent use in performing calculations, as well as for large-scale…
Number theory as a coherent mathematical subject started with the work of Fermat in the decade from 1630 to 1640, but modern number theory, that is, the systematic and mathematically rigorous development of the subject from fundamental…
In this paper we study Ramanujan sums $c_{\bf m}(\bf n)$, where $ {\bf m}$ and ${\bf n}$ are integral ideals in an arbitrary quadratic number field. We give some new results about the asymptotic behavior of sums of $c_{\bf m}(\bf n)$ over…
We extend the validity range of a Ramanujan's hypergeometric transformation formula proved by Berndt, Bhargava and Garvan, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 347, 4163 (1995) and study its implications. Relations to special values of complete elliptic…
Using the WZ-method we find some of the easiest Ramanujan's formulae and also some new interesting Ramanujan-like sums.
This work has a methodological nature and is a set of lecture notes for undergraduate students. It is devoted to the study of the basic tools of quantum field theory on the example of the simplest cubic "toy" model. We introduce such…
In answer to a question of Andrews about finding combinatorial proofs of two identities in Ramanujan's "Lost" Notebook, we obtain weighted forms of Euler's theorem on partitions with odd parts and distinct parts. This work is inspired by…
