🎉 Thrilled to share that I have successfully passed my Upgrade Viva with no revisions! 🚀 It was a great opportunity to present my progress on my project, Testing Hybrid Quantum-Classical Programs, and to discuss my future plans. I’m particularly excited to explore how Quantum Information Theory can help define a formal notion of Testability in a quantum context—paving the way for more robust and reliable quantum systems. ⚡️Looking forward to the next steps!

✨ Had an amazing time at the King’s Quantum Annual Symposium today! 📄 Super proud to have presented my poster on A Taxonomy of Real Faults in Hybrid Quantum-Classical Architectures—a project that gathered and categorised real faults from online sources and expert interviews to better understand Hybrid Quantum-Classical Architectures as a software engineering paradigm, and to propose guidelines for building more robust and reliable hybrid systems. You can read the paper here: https://lnkd.in/ehJnMsHx ⛰️ The day was packed with brilliant talks, including an unforgettable keynote from Professor Sir Peter Knight, who reminded us that “we are in front of a triply exponentially scaling mountain, and we are going to climb it.” Couldn’t think of a better metaphor for what it feels like to work in quantum right now—challenging, but full of possibility. ⚛️ Even more exciting is being part of King’s Quantum, a vibrant and growing team with amazing new researchers coming in. The future looks bright—and weird, and entangled. 📸 (Pic below from Peter Knight’s talk!)

🌍 What a fantastic week at the PICS 2024 Summer School at ITU Copenhagen, despite the not-so-summer weather! 🎤 The speakers and the range of cutting-edge applications of probabilistic methods in theoretical computer science were truly inspiring. It’s remarkable how these techniques are advancing research across various fields. 🖼 I presented my poster, A Taxonomy of Real Fault in Hybrid Quantum Classical Architectures, for the second time. It was fascinating to engage with a broader computer science audience after previously presenting to a quantum computing group at Oxford. The discussions were incredibly enriching! 🤝 I also had the chance to connect with PhD students and researchers from around the world. Their fresh ideas and approaches were truly motivating, and it was rewarding to explore potential collaborations. ✨ Proud to be part of this vibrant community, I return with fresh ideas and new perspectives for my research. 🚀 Excited for continued growth and collaboration in this field!

✨ Feeling inspired after attending the second annual meeting of the RoaRQ (Robust and Reliable Quantum Computing) initiative at Imperial College London last week! 🚀 It was incredible to connect with brilliant researchers from universities across the UK. Seeing the progress in quantum software testing and verification research was a true highlight. 👩🎓 It was also great to catch up with colleagues from the early career researchers event held at Oxford a few months ago. This community continues to grow, and it’s exciting to be part of such impactful work. Check out the new beautiful website showcasing the initiative: https://lnkd.in/esmds6Ha 💻

🌟 Reflections on an Amazing Conference: Seeking Quantum Advantage (SeeQa) at Oxford University 🌟 Last week, I had the privilege of attending an incredible conference at Oxford University, focused on the pursuit of Quantum Advantage. The event featured an outstanding lineup of talks from both industry leaders and academic pioneers, highlighting breakthroughs in quantum algorithms, quantum hardware, and cutting-edge theoretical research. The level of expertise shared was truly remarkable! One of the standout moments was the debate evening, held in the mythic Divinity Hall—a setting steeped in history that added even more weight to the discussions. Experts from both academia and industry engaged in thoughtful debates on the ethical implications, scalability, and societal impact of quantum technologies, bridging the gap between theory and real-world implementation. In addition to the stimulating talks, we were treated to a couple of sunny days, perfect for exploring the beautiful Oxford campus. The punting session on the River Cherwell was an absolute blast and a great opportunity to connect with fellow attendees in a more relaxed atmosphere. A huge thank you to the organizers, speakers, and attendees for making this such a memorable experience. The collaboration between academia and industry is accelerating the journey toward quantum advantage, and I’m excited to see where this transformative technology will lead us!
