My key areas of interest are classical simulation of quantum computers, quantum computational resources, quantum foundations, and quantum contextuality. I am a theoretical physicist with a master thesis on conformal invariance applied to quantum field theory and gravity. My research in quantum information has been on the understanding of the structure of correlations in multipartite systems. Now, as a Ph.D. student, I want to focus my studies on the role of contextuality as a resource for quantum computation.

My scientific interests include both foundations of quantum information theory and possible applications on near-term quantum devices. I am particularly interested in the theory of generalized quantum measurements (POVMs).

My research as a PhD student includes:

• characterization of measurement noise and development of methods for its mitigation;
• study of relative power of POVMs and projective measurements in various quantum information protocols;
• development of new schemes of implementation of POVMs.

My scientific interests span a wide range of topics from theoretical computer science, through theoretical physics to pure mathematics. Quantum information and computation lies at the intersection of those three. My main area of research is mathematical physics, specifically applications of geometry and topology in quantum information and computation.

My research within the group focuses on:
– entanglement in multipartite systems and its geometry
– efficient quantum gates and compilers
– projective simulations of generalized quantum measurements
– quantum walks on graphs

I am interested in exploring variety of topics within quantum information theory. My work focuses on applying group-theoretic methods to problem of efficient classical simulatability of quantum computation.
