Projects

  • QTop

    -

    QTop is an open-source python module for simulation and visualization of topological quantum codes. QTop is object-oriented and easy to read, facilitating the addition and assessment of new topological computing architectures, as well as the development of novel decoders.

    QTop allows for the simulation of topologies with arbitrary code depth, qudit dimension, and error models. Currently, QTop features Kitaev quantum double models, as well as color codes in 3-regular planar tilings. In…

    QTop is an open-source python module for simulation and visualization of topological quantum codes. QTop is object-oriented and easy to read, facilitating the addition and assessment of new topological computing architectures, as well as the development of novel decoders.

    QTop allows for the simulation of topologies with arbitrary code depth, qudit dimension, and error models. Currently, QTop features Kitaev quantum double models, as well as color codes in 3-regular planar tilings. In the future, I hope to add 3-dimensional color codes, gauge color codes, and more exotic topological systems.

    Special thanks to Vlad Gheorghiu for his help with plotting, and Tomas Jochym-O'Connor for help implementing DSP and GCC decoders.

  • Goldwater Scholar Honorable Mention

    Barry M Goldwater Scholarship

    National undergraduate competition for excellence in mathematics, the natural sciences, and engineering.

  • Silver Medal Winner, University Physics Competition

    5th Annual University Physics Competition

    My team of 3 students competed against hundreds of teams from colleges and universities all over the world in The University Physics Competition. Over the period of 48 hours, we analyzed the problem of finding stable orbits for circumbinary planets. Our final product, a formal paper, won us silver medal recognition in the competition.

  • Yale Tetelman Research Fellow

    Yale University

    Awarded fellowship to conduct original research at CERN, Switzerland.

  • AAPT Physics Bowl 2nd in Northeast (Team Competition)

  • 1st place in state, Fermi Analysis

    Connecticut Science Olympiad

  • 1st place in state, Remote Sensing

    Connecticut Science Olympiad

  • Moody's Mega Math Challenge Scholarship Winner

    Moody's Corporation

    Worked in a team of 5 students, using applied math to figure out the best solution to the United States' recycling issues. Our team acted as a consulting firm, analyzing various aspects of the problem, and proposing courses of action. We faced over 1000 teams from across the country, and earned a scholarship for placing in the top 5 percent.

  • 3rd place in state, Thermodynamics
