I took up an independent study under Prof. Shantanav Chakraborty on Adiabatic Quantum Computing and Optimization. Here is the report I wrote for the same. It contains a bunch of paper reviews and some random readings.
I credited a course called Open Quantum Systems and Quantum Thermodynamics in monsoon 2020. As a part of the project, I was given a master equation for a Qubit system, and was supposed to analyse it. Here is my work.
Long long ago, when I had started learning quantum computing and information theory, I wrote some notes. Might be helpful to beginners. This contains theoretical introduction to QC, and some basic Qiskit I learned back then (which is pretty much useless by now I assume), along with some random notes and research paper summaries. My notes on Quantum Computing
I credited a course on complexity theory in monsoon 2020. For the course project, we were to form a team of 3 people, and each member of the team was supposed to either record a lecture, prepare notes or prepare a quiz and assignment on a topic not taught in class (pretty neat idea :P). We picked “PCPs and hardness of approximation,” as I found the topic to be really interesting. My part was to record a lecture on the topic. I mostly referred to chaper 18 of the book “Computational Complexity: A Modern Approach” by Arora and Barak and a lecture by Ryan O’Donnell for TCS toolkit course at CMU. Here is the YouTube link to the recording. I’d probably reorganise the sections a bit if I had to do it again. Also try not to record each topic separately :P
PS: TCS Toolkit (CMU) has the coolest syllabus I’ve seen for a course yet. Highly recommended for anyone into theoretical CS.
