Theoretical Physicist + Research Scientist + Quantum Software Developer @ IBM-Q
Developing techniques for characterization, verification, and validation of the errors that occur in current quantum hardware.
Methods to supress and mitigate errors in hardware to improve the performance of current quantum hardware for near term applications.
Developing theoretical models for noise processes in superconducting systems, and the simulations of noise processes in open quantum systems.
Qiskit Aer is a high-performance simulator framework for studying quantum computing algorithms and applications in the noisy intermediate scale quantum (NISQ) regime. It is written in C++ and Python and integrates with Qiskit-Terra. Some features of this library include:
Qiskit Terra is an open source Python software library for quantum computing developed at IBM-Q. My contributions to this project are in the development of the following modules:
QuantumUtils for Mathematica is a Mathematica software library for symbolic and numerical simulations of quantum systems including and numerous tools useful for quantum information science. It was developed by Christopher Granade, Ian Hincks and myself during our PhDs. Some features of this library include:
