I'm a master's student in Physics (Quantum Computing) at UW–Madison, with a background in applied mathematics. Most of what I care about is on the hardware side of quantum computing: superconducting qubits, readout and calibration, and the classical logic and tooling that surrounds them.
A few things I've been building:
- SystemVerilog FIFO Verification: a synchronous FIFO with a self-checking testbench, a reference model, and randomized tests. My take on RTL design and the fundamentals of verification.
- Hamiltonian Circuit Optimization: a Trotterized time-evolution circuit for a molecular spin Hamiltonian, with an honest comparison of two optimizers (pyZX and the Qiskit transpiler), including where one of them quietly made the circuit worse.
- 1D and 2D Schrödinger Eigensolvers: finite-difference solvers I derived from scratch, validated against analytic solutions with real relative-error numbers, honest about where the method's own limits show up, including a boundary-stencil accuracy cap and a 2D delta potential that turns out to have no continuum limit at all.
- Qubit Readout Analysis and Detuning and Retuning: hands-on analysis of superconducting-qubit experiments (readout fidelity, T1, randomized benchmarking, Power Rabi) from my graduate lab course.
I like work that ties the physics to the actual math and the actual code, and I try to get the numbers right instead of chasing a headline.
