After some fine tuning, power house team Planck Scale has mastered the formula to win quantum hackathons, starting off with a victory at the world’s largest one. Read all about the quantum side of their winning project and how a physicist approaches a quantum hackathon problem.
In this second iteration of our quantum walk model, we extend the framework to fit real-world data collected from a custom-built experimental planter designed to track moisture dynamics in soil. By introducing simulated environmental loss and gains, such as evaporation and watering, we move beyond the idealized closed system of our initial study to a […]
As part of my final project for Quantum Simulation Lab, I developed a theoretical model using a modified Continuous Quantum Walk to simulate how moisture disperses in soil. This work focused on designing the framework and equations to represent soil patches as qubits with evolving interactions over time. While this phase established the foundational theory, […]
For my first quantum hackathon I integrated a custom Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) into portfolio optimization to enhance scalability and performance on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. I introduced what I call a “Shot-Efficient” Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SE-SPSA) algorithm, a modification of the classical SPSA, which dynamically adjusts the number of measurement shots during […]
A personal reflection on my freshman year at UVA, where research at the Ultracold Matter Lab led to my quantum awakening and the decision to become a quantum physicist.
A video I created while attending UVA exploring Quantum Gas Microscopy, how it works and how it is used. Inspired by the 2009 Nature paper by Markus Greiner, an affiliate of the Harvard-MIT Center for Ultracold Atoms.
Research on optical tweezers for quantum computing applications using LCOS-SLM technology. This work explores the manipulation of individual atoms through controlled light patterns for quantum information processing.
A reflection on my transformative years at Governor’s School for Science + Mathematics, where I explored multiple STEM disciplines and discovered my path to engineering.
