Spins, Photons & Yet more

We are on a mission to unravel the mysteries of spins, photons, and yet more — from the fundamental physics to real-world applications. Our research focuses on optically active quantum systems, including nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond, boron vacancies in hexagonal boron nitride, silicon defects, and quantum dots. These tiny quantum objects pack a punch, enabling breakthroughs in high-resolution sensing and quantum communication.

Our experimental toolkit spans confocal microscopy, magnetic resonance, and quantum control, with an emerging lab at IIT Madras. While the lab is currently being set up, experiments are actively underway through collaborations both within IIT Madras and beyond, including with University College London. We also bring a strong flavor of theory and simulation, diving into quantum modeling, machine learning, and reinforcement learning to crack tough problems in physics.
