About Me

Hi! I am Jinal.

I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Science and have professional experience as a full stack software engineer. I am currently transitioning toward research in quantum computing and quantum information theory, with a primary interest in Quantum Error Correction.

My academic interests lie at the intersection of computation, physics, and mathematics, particularly in understanding how quantum information can be protected, manipulated, and utilized for reliable computation.

Following a T-shaped research approach, I aim to pursue depth in Quantum Error Correction, while maintaining broader interests in quantum algorithms and quantum cryptography.

Over the past year, I have pursued structured independent study in classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and quantum computation, working through problem sets and building a strong foundation from:

  1. The Theoretical Minimum (Vol. I & II) by Leonard Susskind
  2. Introduction to Classical and Quantum Computing by Thomas G. Wong
  3. Quantum Computation and Quantum Information by Michael Nielsen and Isaac Chuang (Currently Studying)

Through this work, I have developed mathematical fluency in operator formalism and strengthened my understanding of quantum algorithmic structure and quantum circuit models.

I am preparing to pursue doctoral research in quantum computing and information theory.
