I am Akash Kumar Singh, a dedicated researcher in the field of quantum computing. I graduated with a BS-MS in Physics from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Tirupati, India, in 2023. During my undergraduate studies, I focused on Quantum Error Correction, specifically designing a scheme to implement CSS codes on Measurement-Based Quantum Computation (MBQC) using ZX Calculus.
After that, I pursued an M.Tech in Quantum Computing at the Defence Institute of Advanced Technology, Pune. In my M.Tech, I focused on Quantum Algorithms for Differential Equations as part of my dissertation. I was able to Design an efficient algorithm for the Quantum Laplace Transform using Quantum Eigenvalue Transformation and Linear Combination of Hamiltonian Simulation framework , which achieved superpolynomial speedup over classical methods. I am exploring the use case of this transformation for solving differential equations more efficiently.
Currently, I am working as a Project Engineer at C-DAC CINE, where I focus on quantum algorithms for ordinary and partial differential equations. I aim to leverage my expertise in Quantum Error Correction and ZX Calculus to design more efficient algorithms for quantum computation. Recently, I have also developed an interest in Quantum Learning Theory, and would like to pursue a PhD in this domain with a strong theoretical focus.
So, I'm mostly into theoretical physics, but here's a secret: I have a soft spot for dabbling in experimental physics too. And I'm a huge fan of Mr. Musk; his work is just mind-blowing! When I'm not deep in physics, you'll often catch me vibing to Hindi and Punjabi tunes or dominating the badminton court with some killer smashes. There's something about that perfect smash sound that's just unbeatable. I'm also good with table tennis; who knows, maybe one day we'll even give China a run for their money in both quantum computing and table tennis! Personality-wise wise I'm kind of an ambivert, I switch between being super outgoing and needing some solo time, depending on the vibe. Oh, and I love chatting about the stock market, and I do invest myself, but don't ask me for portfolio tips just yet. I'm still not at that stage of the physicist's life :).
