Studying computation through
mathematics and experiments.
I’m a second-year CSE undergraduate at IIT Gandhinagar, graduating in 2029. My current work spans Enigma cryptanalysis, quantum software contributions, and a quantum simulator in C. I’ve also started exploring computational complexity theory and its connections to quantum computing.
How much of a machine’s internal wiring can intercepted messages reveal? I’m investigating rotor recovery through permutations, group theory, and simulation.
Current question Knowing one rotor exactly can still leave uncertainty in the others. What further information lets us recover their wiring?
Three wired rotors scramble each letter. My research asks what intercepted messages reveal about their wiring.
Implemented four levels of a C99 allocator for simulated 64 KB RAM, from fixed-size allocation to compaction and out-of-memory recovery.
Fixed angle wrapping inside control flow and added circuit consolidation tests in Qiskit. Added NumPy Generator support to Cirq. All three contributions merged upstream.
Adapted Bruno Simon's open-source work, made major architecture decisions, and published the Blithchron 2027 website. Minor production changes continue as the festival approaches.
Added tests that verify ConsolidateBlocks preserves the circuit's unitary across four basis gates and estimates different gate counts for CX and iSWAP.
Fixed WrapAngles ignoring angle bounds inside control flow, with a regression test and release note. PR #17349 merged upstream.
A new essay on the progress and remaining challenges of noisy quantum computing since 2018.
A retrospective on John Preskill's vision for noisy quantum computers, the progress that followed, and the challenges that remain.

I’d be glad to talk about mathematics, quantum computing, or something you’re building.
