Research projects
Below is a brief summary of some of the research projects I have engaged with as an undergraduate:​
Big Title
Bosonic Variational Quantum Algorithms
Within Professor Chen Wang's lab, used RFSoC QICK boards to implement a iterative feedback loop capable of preparing, altering, and entangling states. The states are iteratively modified by changing the waveform played sent into the qubits and cavities. This implementation uses reinforcement learning to change the amplitude of points throughout the waveform, and smooths the pulse to make it more physically realizable.
Shown on the right is a computational example of entangling separate superpositions in a qubit and cavity into a highly-entangled state, preparing it with a 99.7% fidelity.
Superconducting control code development
I worked with the recently developed RFSoC QICK boards to implement calibrations and measurement pulses for superconducting qubits and cavities. Implementations include qubit readout optimization, displacement calibration, and Wigner tomography.
Big Title
Krastanov Lab (Aug 2023 - Present)
Quantum error correcting code benchmarking
Within Professor Stefan Krastanov's group, I worked to implement a workflow that evaluates the effectivity of different quantum error correcting codes and decoders. An example of this is workflow being ran on various sizes of Toric codes with initial state errors and no gate errors is shown on the right.
Additionally, I have implemented algorithms for generating different types of error correcting codes such as unicycle and bicycle codes.
Presently, I am working on turning this into a publicly available website with a wide variety of codes and decoders
