Three questions:
- Can I ‘store’ light?
- Can I confine light into ‘small’ volumes?
- Can I turn light on or off, using another beam of light?
We address these questions through quantum materials and nanophotonics.
About:
As part of India’s National Quantum Mission, we are building packaged quantum photonic sources — integrating quantum materials with nanofabricated cavities to generate single photons and high-dimensional qudits for real quantum communication. Alongside this, we probe the fundamental physics of light-matter interaction, bringing ideas from topology, non-Hermitian physics, and condensed matter into the photonics lab — and turning them into working devices.
