Our Focus
Research Areas
At CQuERE, we carry out research in topical areas of quantum sciences and technologies, in both experiment and theory.
Quantum computing, sensing and metrology using cold atoms
CQuERE
At CQuERE, we are developing a world class research facility for neutral atom based research activities towards emerging Quantum Technologies. At present we are working on cold atom-based Quantum sensing. Short term goal is to develop on portable Absolute Quantum Gravimeter (AQG). AQGs have many practical applications in real life...
Photonic Integrated Circuits and Nitrogen Vacancy Centres for sensing
CQuERE
Building Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs) research facilities from scratch, supported by highly trained researchers, and involving various lasers and characterization tools.
Quantum Computing using superconducting qubits: Experiment
CQuERE
Quantum computing is based on three main properties of quantum mechanics: coherence, superposition and entanglement. The basic unit of information in a quantum computer is a quantum bit or qubit, which can be in two possible states. Many different technologies are currently being explored for the basic physical implementation of qubits. While qubits...
CQuERE
Quantum computation/simulation of quantum many-body systems could enable us to reduce the complexity of time-consuming calculations, thereby promising applications in topics such as drug design. It could also enable us to explore possibilities of quantum engineering using photons, as well as tackle issues related to climate modelling.
Publications
Our work opens up new frontiers in scientific research and the scientific publications are windows to our work.
