Comment: She has made a good start to her career. However, the bar for notability is high on Wikipedia, she has to be compared to full professors. With an h-factor of 16, less than 1K total cites and no major peer awards it is WP:TOOSOON. I suggest waiting 3-5 years. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:13, 11 October 2025 (UTC)
Anindita Banerjee is an Indian physicist and quantum technology expert known for her work in quantum communication, quantum key distribution (QKD), and quantum-safe cryptographic systems. She is a senior quantum technologist at the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC), Pune, India[1]. She has held leadership roles in academic, industrial, and government R&D institutions, with emphasis on applying quantum technologies in real‑world secure communications infrastructure.
Education
[edit]Banerjee received her Ph.D. from Jaypee Institute of Information Technology (JIIT), Noida. During her Ph.D., she collaborated with eminent scientists in the fields of quantum information, quantum secure communication, and quantum computing. She also served as an Assistant Professor at the Bengal College of Engineering and Technology for Women, Durgapur, West Bengal.
Later, she joined the Bose Institute, Kolkata, as a Research Associate, where she worked in the Quantum Optics Lab, particularly focusing on single-photon experiments.[2]. She was awarded the prestigious CSIR Pool Officer position at the Bose Institute[2]. Banerjee has published over 20 papers in peer-reviewed journals and co-authored a book on Optical Quantum Computation and Quantum Communication, published by the SPIE Spotlight Series[2]
Career and Research
[edit]Banerjee began her academic career in 2011 as an Assistant Professor at the Bengal College of Engineering and Technology for Women in Durgapur[2]. Later, she joined the Bose Institute in Kolkata and served as a Research Associate[2]. During this time, she was actively involved in quantum optics, conducting single-photon experiments and contributing to research in quantum communication.
Later, Banerjee joined QNu Labs Pvt. Ltd. and served as a quantum security specialist.[3][4]. During her time at QNu Labs, she oversaw the development and deployment of quantum-safe communication technologies[3]. Under her guidance, QNu Labs advanced practical implementations of quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum random number generators (QRNG) for secure communications[3][5]. She has been featured in the Women in Quantum series, where she discussed challenges, motivations, and her vision for the quantum industry and female participation in STEM[3]
Subsequently, Banerjee transitioned to the CDAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing), Pune. CDAC officially congratulated Dr. Anindita Banerjee, Adjunct Scientist at CDAC Pune, for being nominated as an expert to the iCET (India) group, the India-U.S. Critical and Emerging Technologies Initiative (iCET), which was launched during a meeting between the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India and the President of the United States of America in Tokyo on May 24, 2022 [1].
Public Engagement & Advocacy
[edit]TEDx Talk: A Glimpse into the Quantum Realm, where she shared her journey, research, and vision for quantum technologies.
Featured in Women in Quantum Series, where she addressed the importance of mentoring, community building in quantum science, and encouraged women’s participation in STEM.
