So you think teleportation is just science fiction? Not in the world of quantum computing. In this camp students will dive into sci-fi concepts that are turning into reality with the emergence of quantum computers. Learn what a qubit is, how one item can be in two places at the same time with superposition and the bizarre phenomena of entanglement. You’ll even run code on a real quantum computer!
Akshay graduated from MIT with his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Recently, he completed a postdoctoral research position in the Research Laboratory for Electronics at MIT. In his research, he applies principles of quantum mechanics to improve the efficiency of electron microscopy and make the technique applicable to live biological samples. Akshay obtained his PhD. He holds a B. Tech. and M. Tech. in Electrical Engineering from IIT Bombay in 2014. Outside of his research, Akshay enjoys teaching, writing, and playing the violin.
