Physics · Quantum technologies

Hi, I’m Anant.

I study physics and quantum technologies! I have worked on quantum algorithms, superconducting circuits, ion traps, and quantum software.

Currently interested in quantum hardware and the practical work that connects simulations with experiments and using quantum circuits to test fundamentals of quantum mechanics!

Research & projects

Spurious modes in superconducting resonators

During my Master’s thesis at Alice & Bob, I explored the effects of spurious modes on superconducting resonators. I built models, fitting methods, and design-automation tools to study circuits and compare simulations with experimental measurements.

I also maintained research code and technical documentation while working with chip-design, simulation, and experimental teams.

Ba+ ion coherence

Modelled Rabi oscillations and noise in a driven barium-ion system, and compared continuous dynamical-decoupling predictions with ion-trap data.

Using Python, I solved optical Bloch equations for detuning jitter and Rabi-frequency noise, and explored dressed-state and phase-modulated driving approaches.

Flux-tunable resonator noise

Developed data-acquisition and post-processing scripts for flux-tunable resonators, and worked with homodyne readout and dilution-fridge experiments.

The project included assembling a homodyne readout setup and characterising the noise response of the resonators.

Travelling salesman problem

Worked on a quantum algorithm for the Hamiltonian-cycle formulation of the travelling salesman problem, including circuit verification and runtime analysis.

The work used quantum phase estimation and the quantum Fourier transform, and led to a joint publication in Quantum Information & Computation.

Universal blind quantum computing simulator

Built a simulator for measurement-based quantum computing using cluster states, Qiskit, dynamic circuits, and OpenQASM 3.

I benchmarked it with quantum gates and common algorithms, and explored a path towards running the protocol on real quantum hardware.

BMW quantum computing challenges

Explored an annealer-based QUBO approach for linear systems and benchmarked D-Wave annealers for large sparse matrices.

I compared runtime, minimum energy, solution quality, and error for different encodings, including sparse matrices up to 3100 × 3100.
