Where I come from:

 

Assam......the rich, green land of rolling plains and dense forests is the gateway to the north eastern part of India. The mighty Brahmaputra River that has its origins in Tibet charts its majestic course through this state. This mystic land of eternal blue hills and beautiful rivers is renowned for its tea, rich flora and fauna, the world famous one horned rhinoceros and other rare species of wildlife on the verge of extinction. Barring Africa, there is perhaps no part of the world where such a variety of wildlife exists.

My Research Interests:

 

Quantum Degenerate Gases (Coldest stuff in the Universe)!!

 

 

In 1924, physicists Albert Einstein and Satyendra Bose predicted that if one were to cool a sample of bosons - particles with integer quantum spin, such as rubidium and cesium atoms - down past a certain critical temperature, all of the particles in the sample would "fall" into the lowest possible energy level. Once there, quantum mechanics states that since all the particles would have the same energy, each particle would behave exactly like all the others. The result, Bose and Einstein argued, would be an entirely new state of matter, a "superatom" as different from ordinary gases as a solid is from a liquid, or a liquid from a gas.

Then, on June 5, 1995, a University of Colorado team led by Carl Wieman and Eric Cornell announced that they had done what was once thought impossible: they had created the world's first Bose-Einstein condensate. False-color images of the rubidium showed a sharp peak in the gas' density near the center of the sample, indicating a high-density cluster of atoms in a single energy state. Einstein and Bose had been right.

Four months after the announcement in Colorado, a group led by Wolfgang Ketterle of MIT published the results of its independent BEC effort, which used sodium atoms instead of rubidium. The MIT group had succeeded in creating condensates with many more atoms than the earlier experiments, opening up fascinating new opportunities for making measurements. For this reason, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences awarded the 2001 Nobel Prize in physics to all three researchers, honoring Cornell, Ketterle and Wieman for "the achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation in dilute gases of alkali atoms, and for early fundamental studies of the properties of the condensates."

Such discoveries hold great promise not only for BEC's "native" field of atomic, molecular, and optical physics, but also for astrophysics and possibly other fields as well. In the future, scientists may use Bose-Einstein condensates to build large-scale, stable atom lasers, or "bosers": devices that produces a coherent beam of matter similar to the way a laser produces a coherent beam of light. Lasers have revolutionized both basic research and applied technology since they were invented in the 1960's, and based on preliminary studies, some researchers argue that the same could prove true for bosers. For the coldest stuff in the universe, the future looks remarkably hot.

Significant contributions:

My contributions to the field of quantum optics, cold atoms and Bose-Einstein condensation includes introducing for the first time non-linear one-photon Jaynes-Cummings model, electron shelving induced generation of non-classical light in optical lattices, crossover from Rabi to Josephson dynamics in coupled Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) as a phase transition process, imaging of coupled BEC using femtosecond light pulses. Predicting the polaritonic band structure of coupled BEC in optical lattice.

I was first to propose the possibility of Bosonic current in optical toroidal trap. Mine was one of the first works, which investigated the dynamics of vortex in an optical lattice. Recently using path integral formalism, I showed that the Abrikosov-Tkachenko vortex lattice in a BEC may be equivalently understood as an array of Josephson junctions and was able to accurately reproduce experimental results for the Tkachenko modes using this model. In another recent work I showed the existence of plastic state in vortex lattice of a fast rotating BEC.

 

For the first time I gave a quantum theory of Bose-Einstein condensate out of equilibrium. I was able to calculate for the first time the effective mass and the Bogoliubov spectrum in an optical superlattice. I showed that how the two-colour optical lattice is a new tool to manipulate superfluid and coherence properties of the BEC and these results have important implications in atom interferometry and quantum computation. I also showed how the Bloch oscillations and dipole oscillations were influenced by the optical superlattice in accordance with experiments.

 

In ultracold Fermi gases, it is possible to tune the interaction strength and tune the system between two limits, Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) type superfluid ( involving atom pairs in momentum space) and Bose Einstein condensate (involving atom pairs in real space). The cross-over between BEC-BCS is of extreme importance and experimentally one looks for signatures which identify such crossover. In optical lattices such crossover becomes even more interesting. I have provided recently a full three dimensional theory of this crossover and predicted possible crossover signatures in the various Bogoliubov spectrum which will act as experimental guide.

 

When optical lattices with BEC are enclosed in high quality-factor optical cavities (this system is known as quantum optical lattice), the quantum properties of the light field become important. A strong coupling between the BEC and the cavity modes is developed and this leads to a band structure of the photons!!. The cavity properties and the pump field emerge as a new handle to control the superfluid properties of the BEC. This study which I did emerges as a new system for improved atom-interferometry and quantum computation.

 

In a recent paper in “Physical Review Letters” with my collaborator, I showed the existence of spin-charge separation in Bose gas in 2D as well as 3D systems.

 

Recently, I have described the quantum analogue of the acousto-optic effect in a Bose-Einstein condensate. In this work I have described a new type of effect i.e. interplay between the Faraday pattern formation in BEC on one hand, and the acousto-optic effect in BEC due to external optical radiation on the other hand. The interplay leads to novel and useful phenomena. Together with my student, we showed that a nano-mirror coupled to a kerr-medium in an optical cavity is a new quantum device. I have given the first detailed theory of cavity optomechanics of a Bose-Einstein condensate and showed that the BEC in a cavity can be used to reduce the quantum fluctuations of the output light.
