About me

I am CEO and co-founder of QC Design, a quantum computing company that designs useful and scalable quantum computers.

Earlier, I headed Xanadu’s Architecture team, where I led the theoretical effort to design Xanadu’s quantum computer and to chart the path to quantum advantage with photonics.

My postdoctoral research focussed on quantum computing. My colleagues and I performed the world-record tomography of a 14-qubit computer, and we devised novel optical quantum simulators.

My PhD focussed on powerful new methods for the design, characterization and simulation of photonic quantum computers.

Happy to chat about quantum computing! Get in touch with me over ishdhand (at) gmail.com

A list of patents is available on request.

I am an author of a book under contract with Cambridge University Press. This book explains the counter-intuitive properties of quantum physics requiring minimal mathematics background. An open-access outline is available on arXiv:1806.09958.
