Dr Riddhi Gupta

I bring industry and academic experience in working on quantum error mitigation, quantum error correction, and quantum control theory to enable quantum computing demonstrations on hardware. I am currently investigating the feasibility of combining error mitigation and error correction techniques with quantum algorithms at the University of Queensland. My team's recent focus spans quantum kernel methods, quantum Hamiltonian simulations for chemistry and optimization, and analysis of quantum channels and their impact on quantum learning. While my group is a theoretical physics research group, we focus on hardware-aware algorithms design and have close partnerships with superconducting qubit experimental platforms at UQ and IBM, with supporting classical computational compute capability at Pawsey Sentonix through NCMAS. I co-lead the quantum computing workstream with Prof. Sally Shrapnel for the Queensland Digital Health Center; I work closely with Prof. Eleanor Rieffel quantum algorithms aligned with the work of the newly established Queensland Decarbonization Alliance and I lead the Asia Pacific Hub of IBM Quantum's Industry Working Group for Healthcare and Lifesciences. Prior to this, I worked on execution of dynamic circuits for error mitigation and quantum error correction applications at IBM Quantum (US) for three years. My work resulted in 3 patents and being recognised as one of IBM Research's Top Technical Contributors in 2023 globally. I have also designed classical algorithms for noise filtering and prediction for trapped ions at the Quantum Control Laboratory in the University of Sydney, winning ARC EQUS inaugural Director's Medal in Australia in 2019. QDA is hiring a postdoc position in Quantum Algorithms (https://lnkd.in/e9jZQUEt) and funning two Ph.D positions: Robust Quantum Algorithms for Decarbonisation Applications (https://lnkd.in/gQ3S6bjY) & Distributed Quantum-Enhanced Algorithms (https://lnkd.in/gV7z4EQj)
