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]
• Released Qiskit-Qulacs v0.1.0. [Apr 2, 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 😅.
