Research interests
We are interested in a wide range of scientific problems. We don't believe in boundaries (of subjects/departments) in science. Some of our major research thrusts are:
Quantum chemistry on quantum computers
Quantum computers are expected to transform electronic structure calculations. How to take advantage of superposition and entanglement properties of qubits to achieve quantum advantage? We develop new algorithms and methods for molecular calculations on future quantum computers.
Quantum computing through lens of quantum control
We borrow ideas from quantum control, especially quantum speed limits, to study fundamental properties of quantum algorithms. We are interested in studying speedups provided by quantum algorithms, effect of qubit connectivity and various other aspects of quantum computing.
Material simulation using tools from quantum chemistry
We are interested in bringing together ideas from quantum chemistry and condensed matter physics to develop systematically improvable and quantitatively accurate material simulation tools.
Software for chemistry and quantum computing
We are developing software packages suitable for wide adoption for quantum chemistry calculations using quantum computers.
