Quantum

Researcher in QEC

From Sep 2022, I started working a stealth quantum startup focussed on Fault Tolerance in Ulm, Germany. I work there as a PhD student in the theory for design softwared and research tools required for designing fault tolerant quantum computers.

Work Experience

1. I did my Master thesis under the supervision of Prof. Christian Mendl and Prof. Alexandru Paler on Tensor Network methods in Quantum Error Correction. At present, we are working on benchmarking the performance of TN decoders under the presence of circuit level noise.

2. Researcher/Developer at https://latticesurgery.com [Since Oct 2021][Part Time]
   Responsible for verification and developing the functionality of a compiler that aims at automating the construction of error corrected circuit uisng lattice surgery

3. Research Assistant at the Quantum Applications and Research Lab, LMU. [Sept 2021 - June 2022] [Part-Time]
   Worked on implementing optimising of quantum annealing hyperparameters using evolutionary algorithms and metaheuristics

Projects

1. IBM Quantum Error Correction Summer School [July 2022]

2. Mentee, QOSF Quantum Computing Mentorship Program [Apr - June 22]

3. Modelling Single Photon Sources for Optical Quantum Circuits. (Summary) [Summer 2020]

4. Stabilizer Circuits for Julia: (Summary) [Spring 2021]
