Our research work is interdisciplinary and explores the interface between condensed matter, atomic physics, optics, quantum optics, nano-science, quantum information, and computing. We are also studying quantum nano-electronics, opto-mechanics, nano-mechanics, biophysics, light-to-electricity conversion, and photonics.
