“…2 In addition to studying quantum mechanics, quantum optical states have been exploited for several applications, such as quantum-state engineering, quantum communication, quantum cryptography protocols, enhanced metrology and sensing, quantum optical integrated circuits, quantum imaging, and quantum biological effects. 3 Although several bibliometrics studies have been undertaken in the past on the topics related to "Quantum technologies", [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] and optics [12][13][14][15][16] none of the existing bibliometric studies were focused on "Quantum Optics", particularly in the Indian context.…”

Objectives: The present study examines the publication output of authors from India on the topic of "Quantum Optics" during 1996-2021 using bibliometric methods. Methods: The Indian publications as listed in the Scopus database were identified by using "Quantum Optics" in the "Title" tag. Results: 67274 global publications emerged on the topic of "Quantum Optics" during 1996-2021. India contributed only 2108 publications on this topic and constituted a 3.13% share of global output. About 30.0% share of Indian publications received external funding support and were involved in international collaboration, respectively. The 455 organizations and 635 authors participated unevenly in the research on this topic, with the highest number of publications ( 96) emerging from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, followed by the University of Calcutta (80 publications), Harish Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad (69 publications) and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai (68 publications). Indian Association for Cultivation of Science (IACS), Kolkata (69.9 and 5.68) registered the highest citation impact per paper and relative citation index, followed by Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad (23.23 and 1.89), Harish Chandra Research Institute, Allahabad (22.93 and 1.86) and Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Bombay (22.72 and 1.85). The highest number of publications ( 33) is contributed by G.S. Agarwal, followed by A.K. Pati (32 papers), A. Pathak (31 papers), and P.K. Panigrahi (29 papers). G.S. Agarwal (40.82 and 3.32) registered the highest citation impact per paper and relative citation index, followed by P.K. Panigrahi (21.83 and 1.77), A.K. Pati (21.06 and 1.71), and A. Pathak (19.87 and 1.61). The journals that published the highest number of publications (233) were Physical Review A (233 papers), Quantum Information Processing (109 papers), Physics Letters Section A (74 papers), and Spectrochimica Acta Part A (61 papers). Physical Review Letters (62.30) was the most impactful journal in terms of citations per paper, followed by the Journal of Optics (United Kingdom) (24.92), Physical Review E (19.07), and Journal of Optics B. Quantum & Semiclassical Optics (18.85), Journal of Physical Chemistry C (18.58). The most commonly investigated topics (keywords) in terms of frequency of appearances were quantum optics (1390), followed by nonlinear optics (520), quantum theory (407), quantum entanglement (283)), photons (223), and quantum computers (223). Conclusion: Over the last two decades a large number of publications have emerged in the area of "Quantum Optics", which are creating a significant impact on the development of many diverse quantum technologies both in India and abroad.

Objective: This study aimed to identify and analyse the characteristics of highly cited papers (HCPs) in optics publications from India indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection database over the past 30 years. The analysis focused on document types, annual production and citations per publication, journals, countries, institutes, authors, and the top cited papers. The study also evaluated the publication performance of institutions and compared citation indicators of the most frequently cited articles. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study used a bibliometric analysis approach and identified HCPs as documents cited 100 or more times by the Web of Science Core Collection from 1992 to 2021. Data were visualised using VOSviewer and Bibliometrix R packages. Citation indicators, including total citations and citations in 2021, were used to compare the most frequently cited articles. Results/Discussion: The results showed that most highly cited papers were published in journals with high impact factors. The USA was the dominant country in collaboration with India in optics publications. The papers by Agostinelli et al. (2003) were the most frequently cited, and the paper by Aghanim et al. (2020) was the most impactful in 2021. The study also found that the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, was the leading institution in the number of highly cited papers produced. Conclusions: This study provides insight into the characteristics and trends of highly cited papers in optics publications from India. The results highlight the importance of collaboration with the USA and the significance of publishing in high-impact factor journals. The study also indicates the need for institutions to focus on producing quality research to increase their publication performance and impact. Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature on bibliometric analysis by comprehensively analysing highly cited papers in optics publications from India. The study also provides insights into the collaboration patterns and publication performance of institutions in India. The findings can be used to inform policies and strategies aimed at improving research productivity and impact in India.

Optics research has recently proven important for scientific, educational, and industrial applications. This study examines the increase and distribution of literature on learning and teaching optics. This analytical strategy uses quantitative and statistical methods to identify trends, evaluate quality, and monitor progress. From the 530 documents obtained using the Scopus database between 1944 and 2023, 464 were chosen. With a total of 49 documents, 2014 had the greatest substantial increase in the number of documents since 1944 till this data was collected. Writers from the United States contributed to 115 documents with 36% citations. They ranked first, followed by authors from Germany (37 documents and 12% citations) and China (36 documents), with citation rankings just below the top 10. Most publications appeared in Physics Education (15 documents; Q2 SJR 0.41). The International Journal of Science Education received the most citations for publications on teaching and learning optics (159 citations; Q1 SJR 1.15) and was ranked 1 in its category. The current core literature on teaching and learning optics shows that this area is quickly evolving but with insufficient international research collaboration. Research collaboration in this field must be strengthened to improve the worldwide response to teaching and learning optics. There is a need to broaden the scope of study regarding assessment instruments, technological engineering, learning approaches, learning methods, learning strategies, and learning media within the context of teaching and learning optics from elementary school to the university level.
