Soorya Rethinasamy

Physics Ph.D. at Cornell University

I design and study quantum algorithms. I am pursuing my Ph.D. from Cornell University, working with Dr. Mark M. Wilde. I have worked on several broad areas, including symmetries, distinguishability measures, variational algorithms, among others.
