Research & Software Development
QCourse551-1 Quantum Software Development with Classiq, it provides industrial project development experiences in an academic environment. The Classiq Team offers 14 projects as well as mentoring using the Classiq platform. All projects are open-sourced. It has admitted 129 knowledgeable students. Tentatively, each project will have two groups, and each group will have three members. I am particularly Working on a project titled
HHL (Harrow, Hassidim, Lloyd) quantum algorithm— for solving a set of linear equations. The goal of this project is to model and explore the implementation of such a hybrid approach, studying relations between circuit depth, width, and functional error. Using the Classiq platform will allow flexible functional modeling, further gate-count optimization, and examination of large use cases.
I have been working as a freelance developer, collaborating on the development of a quantum simulator that leverages real-time IBM quantum device data to fine-tune its calibration in real-time.

I will be collaborating closely with a team of seasoned professionals on a project entitled
Browser-Based Quantum-Safe VPN PQC Plugin as part of the SparQ Summer Internship. Access the official Internship announcement page and Acceptance mail.
Working on an ongoing project as a part of my work as a junior researcher at Qkrishi, Gurgaon, India. The objective is to develop a novel optimized quantum algorithm using several methods, like the phase estimation technique to solve the
traveling salesman problem and vehicle routing problem and benchmark the respective routing algorithm on various available QPUs by testing on several optimization algorithms to observe and compare the best optimal minimal cost. Access the project’s page and the experience letter.
â—Ź The project focused mainly on creating a platform for a comprehensive and curated collection of resources aiming to help understand Quantum Computing.
â—Ź I was allotted to one respective group under a mentor to work on major computational issues faced during Quantum Computation, like
Quantum Error Correction.â—Ź During the course of my internship, I devised a Quantum Error Detection model based on surface error code, it enhanced my skills and knowledge in this particular field.
â—Ź QMap, the outcome of a project at QWorld, is a comprehensive and curated collection of resources aiming to help you in exploring and understanding various aspects of Quantum Technology. Access the project report and the Internship Certificate.
During one month of the internship, I implemented an
Inventory Management system by transmitting structured data network in JSON format. This system was used to keep track of products, perform sales analysis and generate a statement consisting of the purchase history of the company. Access the project page.
The aim of the project is to design and fabricate a very efficient, highly sensitive and low-cost
micro-strip patch antenna with an etched customized logo which is tailored to perform the intended application of remotely monitoring the health. Click here for the project report.Experience
Teaching

Malware detection in Android devices using Quantum Machine Learning
The novel approach of this project provides the ability to detect malware on mobile devices. As the inference engine for malware detection, the SecML was utilized to evaluate the security of a malware detector which is based on Variational Quantum Classifier (VQC). The detection process is performed by taking into account the malware’s features, captured on the mobile devices. Experimental research shows that the SVMs are able to produce accurate classification results.

Quantum Secure Communication via Steganography
This research demonstrates the manner in which a shared text (cover file) can be utilized to hide a secret message, using the encoding idea from BB84 protocol.The notion of utilizing the concept of quantum steganography for transmitting different type of text data over the network by contemplating it as secret message has been the highlight of this work. In addition, the works also describes the subsequent noises and overlapping of expected data due to multiple error factors when the same proposed protocol is tested on 3 distinctive backend devices.
Celebrity Lookalike Project
This project is the works done during my internship at Cloud x Lab, India. This project uses the face-recognition library in Python to find a celebrity look-alike from a picture that is being uploaded. The face-recognition library is built using dlib’s state-of-the-art face recognition which uses CNN to classify several types of touch interaction from humans by learning the data pattern from a force sensor. The model had 98.38% computing similarity when tested on two distinct metrics based approaches such as Euclidean distance and Mahalanobis distance.
