Research Experience

Analyzing Performance of Quantum Error Correcting Codes in 2G Quantum Repeater

Guide: Dr. Christian Deppe
TU Braunschweig, Germany

Jun 2024
Present

As part of the QR.X project, I am developing an algorithm to analyze the performance of quantum error-correcting codes, focusing on the second generation of quantum repeaters. I utilize Pennylane to implement these codes, selecting the optimal code for specific scenarios and identifying parameters in the repeater that can be fine-tuned for enhanced performance.

Investigating the Claims of "Grover’s Algorithm Offers no Quantum Advantage"

Guide: Wolfram Research
Waltham, USA

Jun 2023
Jul 2023

Implemented the 3 qubit procedure for a single-target element search problem (3-SAT), comparing performance with Grover’s algorithm with Concurrence measurement at each step. Monitored rank trend in the Matrix Product State within the oracle. Additionally, extended the Algorithm (QiGA) for up to 5 qubits in Mathematica.
