🔭 I completed my master's in Quantum Computing from IISc Bengaluru, a couple of years ago.

🌱 My primary interest is in Quantum Simulation and Hamiltonian complexity theory. Beyond this, I aspire to contribute to (quantum/classical) algorithmic research in optimization/ML and system simulation. I also keep track of developments in lattice-based cryptography and Physics-inspired machine learning.

🎯 One of the long-term goals is to understand the power and limitations of the computational complexity class BQP, i.e., the set of problems having a polynomial-time quantum algorithm.

Some of my other interests are-

Can ideas from physics help to build explainable AI? Physics of AI by Sebastien Bubeck.

Is there something more in $\mathsf{BQP \cap NP}$? We know $\mathsf{P}$ and FACTORIZATION are there. Are there some more natural problems there?

⭐ A part-time programmer. Trying to learn a bit of creative thinking via Dynamic Programming. See if these codes are relevant.
