The Raman Research Institute is located in Bengaluru, India and performs quantum research within their Light and Matter Physics (LAMP) group. The research of the LAMP group includes demonstration of quantum logic using ultra-cold atoms loaded in optical lattices and various nano-traps, investigation of transport and localization properties of light in various random media, ultrafast laser induced plasmas from solid targets, nonlinear optical properties of nanomaterials, laser cooling and trapping of atoms, molecular spectroscopy, cold collisions, investigations on spin statistics, ion trapping, atoms in cavities, response of cooled atoms to external fields, quantum optics with neutral atoms and non-classical light sources, quantum walk of light, manufacture of single photon sources based on spontaneous parametric down-conversion and their applications to fundamental tests of quantum mechanics, quantum information and computing and quantum communication, etc. Currently, quantum logical gates are being designed by tailoring the internal degrees of freedom of quantum optical tools in external potentials.
