Listen Later

Umakant is an atomic physicist who is innovating on quantum optical technologies. What motivated him to study this fascinating area ? What has been his journey in atomic physics, quantum optics and the resultant technologies? We discuss this and many other things in this episode.

Umakant Rapol, an accomplished experimental physicist, is known for his innovative research in quantum technologies.

He is currently Professor of physics at IISER. Pune, Physics Department, Pune - India.  http://sites.iiserpune.ac.in/~umakant.rapol/team/

His research

interests are in the area of Atomic Physics and Quantum optics. He has an
active research group at IISER – Pune, working in the areas of Ultra-cold atoms
and ions for precision Optical Metrology, Quantum Information processing and
Quantum optics and in Quantum technologies ranging from Quantum computing to
Quantum sensors.

His work explores the dynamics of quantum systems, focusing

on atom optics and quantum information processing. Leading a research group at
IISER Pune, Umakant conducts pioneering experiments in quantum information
processing and quantum optics, advancing the field of quantum technologies.
With a solid foundation in fundamental physics and extensive experience in
experimental research, Umakant Rapol is a key figure in the realm of quantum
research, making significant contributions to the development and application
of quantum technologies.
