Masters students 

Anish Mandyam (Project intern) 

Project aim: To create quantum correlations in laser fields using four-level tripod atomic system. 

Rohan, Nithyasree, Garima 

Project: Understanding the basics of light-matter interactions and “hopefully” to simulate Young’s double slit like quantum interference in atom-laser interactions.

Sreeshna:

Sreeshna is excited about her theoretical work on optomechanics and tried to build an experimental optical interferometer with hanging mirror.
