Hello there, I’m Gopal 👋
👨🏻💻 I’m a Master’s student in Quantum Science and Engineering at EPFL specializing in Quantum Information and Computation.
🔬 My research interests include in quantum computing and its applications in machine learning, chemistry and combinatorial optimization.
📚 I’m currently exploring hybrid algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems.
📽️ I am also happy to assist anyone on their journey in quantum computing.
📰 News
- Joined EPFL for Master’s in Quantum Science and Engineering. [Sep 2024]

👨🏻🔬 Experience
Previously, I was a Research Software Engineer at Qkrishi, a quantum finance-focused startup. I tackled problems like portfolio optimization and fraud detection.
In 2022 and 2023, I participated in Google Summer of Code with ML4SCI. There I worked on quantum neural networks for HEP data classification. I was served as a mentor in the same organization in 2024. Here is the list of all projects.
I am also a Qiskit Advocate and studied tensor network quantum circuits during the Qiskit Advocate Mentorship Program in Fall 2022. In the past, I participated in IBM Quantum challenges; these badges highlight the journey.
📚 Teaching and Community Contributions
To further contribute to the quantum computing community, I have a Medium channel where I publish educational Quantum Computing content. I frequently publish blog posts on ILearnQuantum with a 0.1 probability 😅.
