Thilagaraj Ravi

Thilagaraj Ravi is a PhD student contributor to Physics World. Thilagaraj is in the Atom-Based Quantum Technology lab, part of the Quantum Optics and Quantum Technology group in the Department of Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati. His research focuses on laser cooling and trapping of rubidium and ytterbium atoms for applications in quantum technologies. He is especially interested in trapping single atoms and using them for quantum computation and simulation. He combines experimental techniques – such as optical tweezers, laser spectroscopy and EIT – with numerical modelling to study ultracold atoms. Outside the lab, he enjoys going to the gym, playing badminton and binge-watching television shows.
