Projects

*
MILQ Simulator
Play against a quantum computer in a two-player game. The optimal strategy is the minimum solution to the boolean satisfiability problem. 1st place winner of the IBM Humans vs. Quantum Computers challenge in the Womanium 2022 Hackathon.
MILQ Simulator
Loop Quantum Gravity on a Quantum Computer
Reproducing algorithms to calculate spinfoam amplitudes of quantum tetrahedra in the loop quantum gravity theory, on Google’s Sycamore Processor. Not quite enough work to make a publication, but enough to make a project page, which I will create soon.
Loop Quantum Gravity on a Quantum Computer
Tape (w.i.p.)
My pet programming language. Built in C++, currently writing my own parser generator to replace lex and yacc. Why should you use tape? You shouldn’t. It doesn’t even generate machine code yet.
!Backend
Give me a GitHub python repository, and I’ll give you an API url. No strings attached. 4th place winner of HackCU IV, 2020.
