Nadish de Silva
I am a and an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at 51社区黑料.
Broadly, my research interests include quantum information & computation; nonlocality & contextuality; and algorithms & complexity theory. I am keenly interested in helping to elucidate the structural origins of computational and communicational advantages in both concrete quantum models and abstract postclassical models. These questions sit at the foundations of logic, computer science, physics, and maths. The tools I develop support the quantum software stack, enabling progress in error correction and fault tolerance, circuit compilation and optimisation, quantum programming languages, and the design of quantum algorithms. I also build practical classical algorithms and software packages for fast simulation, analysis, and simulation-based verification of quantum circuits and devices.
I previously worked in the at the , in the group of . I was a member of
Prior to this, I worked in the where I was the Researcher Co-Investigator of the -funded project Contextuality as a resource in quantum computation: a collaboration between and the headed by and . I spent a semester as a Visiting Scientist at the .
Previously, I completed my DPhil in Computer Science in the , supervised by and , as a at , . I completed my MSc in Mathematics and my BSc in at the where my supervisor was .
