I can think of a few people who are interested in quantum computing and various aspects of it: 1. K. R. Parthasarathy of ISI, Delhi who has been giving courses on Quantum Information Theory at various places. He would be able to tell you quite a bit about the mathematics of QC. 2. R. Simon and Sibasish Ghosh of IMSc, Chennai who recently ran a workshop on "Entanglement" followed by a two day conference on Quantum Matter and Quantum Information. 3. J. Radhakrishnan of TIFR, Mumbai who works on Algorithms and Randomness and is interested in QC as well. I have provided you with with one person to contact in each of the theoretical aspects Mathematics, Physics and CS in that order. I don't know who works on the experimental aspects. I do know that there used to be a simulator for a quantum computer that was available as a package in Debian. Perhaps you can try it out.
