About ΔQ(Delta Q)

ΔQ  is our flagship department dedicated to cutting-edge research in ion trap-based quantum computing, electron-positron interactions, and high-precision experiments. Our work aims to explores the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and antimatter, pushing the boundaries of modern physics.

Ongoing Research & Experiments

 Quantum Computing with Ion Traps
We are developing a Paul trap-based ion quantum processor, aiming to implement quantum logic operations with trapped ions. This work focuses on coherence properties, error rates, and quantum algorithms for scalable quantum computing.

 Electron-Positron Trap for Antimatter Studies
We are designing a dedicated trap for electron-positron confinement, enabling precise studies of matter-antimatter interactions. This experiment has  implications for fundamental physics and potential applications in antimatter-based technologies.

Our Vision

At ΔQ ,we strive to pioneer next-generation quantum technologies and contribute to the global scientific community. Our research integrates advanced experimental techniques, precision measurements, and theoretical insights, establishing a strong foundation for the future of quantum science.

Job Opportunity

We are looking for two highly motivated students to carry out internships at IMJIR.

Internships available

1. Building a Low-Cost Scanning Fabry-Pérot Interferometer
This project involves designing and constructing a compact and affordable scanning Fabry-Pérot interferometer for high-resolution spectral analysis. The intern will work on aligning mirrors, optimizing cavity finesse, and developing a scanning mechanism using piezo actuators or mechanical drives, along with basic control electronics and data acquisition.

2. Building a Customised 300–550 nm Spectrophotometer
The intern will develop a custom spectrophotometer tailored for the 300–550 nm range, focusing on UV-Visible light. Tasks include selecting suitable light sources, optics, diffraction gratings, and detectors (e.g., photodiodes or CCDs), along with calibration and software interfacing for spectral measurements of various samples.

3. Experiments with Thermionic Emission
This project explores thermionic emission from heated filaments. The intern will conduct experiments to measure current vs temperature, estimate filament temperature using Wien’s displacement law, and validate results using the Richardson–Dushman equation, offering insights into work function and energy distributions of emitted electrons.

4. Trapping Micron and Nano Particles and Measuring Their Mass
The intern will participate in  electrodynamic trapping of micro/nano particles using Paul traps. The focus will be on calibrating the trap, monitoring particle motion, and applying techniques to estimate the mass and charge of the trapped particles.

5.  Investigating Space Charge Effects and Parallel Computing Simulations in a Paul Trap                                                               

This internship focuses on understanding the space charge effects arising from multiple ions confined in a Paul trap and simulating their collective dynamics using parallel computing techniques. When many ions are trapped, mutual Coulomb repulsion significantly alters their trajectories and stability. Accurately modeling this behavior requires efficient computation, especially for systems with tens or hundreds of ions. aims
