Project: This project aims to explore fundamental concepts in quantum foundations, with a specific focus on the framework of simplicial distributions introduced in [CKI22]. By leveraging methods from algebraic topology, the project seeks to identify quantum phenomena that can be harnessed for information processing. Additionally, it explores potential applications for achieving quantum advantage, particularly in the development of quantum algorithms and protocols.
These positions are part of the project "Homotopical Quantum Computation: Theory and Applications of Simplicial Distributions," funded by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (2024-2029).
