Together with my classmates Larry Liu and Donny Lu, we are working on the a plan to build an optical quantum computer that addresses issues of multi-photon gate complexity and scalibility, with the goal to begin proptyping in Spring 2024. We are working with Professor Gallicchio of Harvey Mudd College as well as Professor Lynn of Harvey Mudd College informally.

<p class="project-description">Wrote a lot of custom code to generate, manipulate, and measure (theoretically and experimentally) 2-qubit quantum states. Trained a variety of machine learning models (eXtreme gradient boosting, neural networks) on 4 million generated states with the goal of predicting the optimal set of measurements to take based on an initial set of projective probabilities, using entanglement witnesses building on those by Riccardi et al. (2019) and previous work by the group. Achieved <a href="https://github.com/Lynn-Quantum-Optics/Summer-2023/blob/main/oscar/writing/oscar_writeup.pdf"> 4% increase in performance from previous models</a> and successfully applied the models to experimental data.

<p class="project-description">Inspired by a paper about the strange behavior of neuropeptides in the worm C. elegans by Ripoll-Sánchez et al. (2023), I created this simple quantum circuit in Cirq as a possible hybrid quantum machine learning algorithm that takes classical inputs, converts them into quantum states via phase encoding, entangles all the states together--modeled on the action of the neuropeptides--to adjustable levels, and then performs single qubit rotations before converting back to classical probability output via measurement.</p>

<p class="project-description">Designed, implemented, and trained a custom long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent nerual network called "Thinking Parrot" on the works of the ficitous scholar Nasrudin based on the lines, "To save money, I made my donkey go without food. Unfortunately the experiment was interrupted by its death. It died before it got used to having no food at all. People sell talking parrots for huge sums. They never pause to compare the possible value of a thinking parrot.". I wrote <a href = "https://github.com/oscars47/Literary-RNN/tree/main/papers">two essays of over 120 words total</a> explaining the model to a non-CS audience and intepreting its results literarily.
