ICTS is delighted to announce that faculty member Sthitadhi Roy has been awarded the 2025 ICTP Prize. He shares the prize with Titas Chandra of the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai.
Prof. Roy was awarded the prize “for his outstanding and influential contributions to the non-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems, particularly his pioneering work on measurement-induced phenomena, many-body localisation, and emergent phases of quantum matter. His research has produced deep insights into the structure of highly excited eigenstates, the role of disorder correlations in stabilizing localisation, and the mechanisms underlying entanglement growth and thermalisation. Roy’s analytical breakthroughs — including exact results for hybrid quantum circuits, scaling theories of the MBL transition, and protocols that harness measurements to prepare exotic topological and dynamical phases — have had a profound impact on several rapidly developing research directions.”
Established in 1982 by the ICTP Scientific Council, the ICTP Prize honours young physicists from developing countries who have made outstanding and original contributions to the field.
ICTS congratulates Prof. Roy and wishes him many more breakthroughs in the years to come.
