Akash Kumar Singh
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.
Currently, I am pursuing an M.Tech in Quantum Computing at the Defence Institute of Advanced Technology, Pune.
My research interests include developing quantum algorithms for linear algebra, differential equations, and optimization. Currently, I am focused on Quantum Algorithms for Differential Equations as part of my M.Tech Dissertation.
I aim to leverage my expertise in Quantum Error Correction and ZX Calculus to design more
efficient algorithms for quantum computation.

Projects
Quantum N-Queens Solver | Qiskit,Python
- Worked on Quantum N-queen solver using Qiskit for fulfillment of Term paper requirement for Quantum Mechanics 2 course.
- Understood the concept behind the N-Queen problem and how Quantum computing can help to solve it faster with less time and resource complexity
- Implemented it on Qiskit for a 4x4 case.
Quantum Approach to Non-Linear Dynamics
- The aim of the project was to discuss a formalism that can make use of power of Universal Quantum Computers to simulate and solve classical non linear dynamics problem. This was done as a fulfillment of term paper requirement for Non-Linear Dynamics Course.
- The method of an arbitrary classical dynamical system extension to the quantum system was developed with example of Logistic Model.

Hobbies
So, I'm mostly into theoretical physics, but here's a secret: I have a soft spot for dabbling in experimental physics too. Oh, and I'm a huge fan of Mr. Musk—his ideas are 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 into table tennis; who knows, maybe one day we'll even give China a run for their money in both quantum computing and table tennis! 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 :).
