Making quantum computing practical on today’s noisy hardware.
My recent work centers on error mitigation, noise characterization, and other techniques to make quantum processors reliable. Working with academia, I have applied these to high-energy and condensed-matter physics problems, publishing large-scale demonstrations that push past the limits of classical simulability. Apart from this, resource-aware scheduling and circuit cutting — my other area of study — are converging toward a quantum-centric supercomputing paradigm: QPUs as noise-characterized, schedulable accelerators alongside classical infrastructure, a direction my growing work in combinatorial optimization is now connecting to. During my PhD, I worked on higher-dimensional (qudit) systems, error correction, and circuit optimization.
