HPC / QEC Systems Code
Surface Code Threshold Simulator
Built a modular, scalable backend simulation pipeline using Stim v1.14 with circuit-level depolarizing noise and PyMatching v2.3 MWPM decoding. Reproduced the fault-tolerance threshold at ~0.75% across code distances d ∈ {3,5,7,9,11} over 40 parameter combinations, verifying 8.1× LER suppression below threshold.
ML-Driven Quantum Pulse Synthesis
AutoPulseSynth
Translated cutting-edge research into a production-ready backend service. Applied IR-style representations and surrogate-assisted optimisation achieving 95% worst-case X-gate fidelity under ±2 MHz drift via Lindblad solvers.
2025 & 2026 — Code'25 / Code'26
MIT iQuHack Quantum Hackathon
2026: Engineered ML pipeline for quantum circuit optimisation achieving 66.7% prediction accuracy with robust generalisation to unseen quantum algorithms. 2025: Hardware-constrained optimisation for MaxCut on IonQ, achieving transpilation score of 0.78606.
Research Reproduction & Validation
Quantum ML Research Framework
Reproduced three peer-reviewed quantum systems papers (SC'23, ICCV'23, ASPLOS'21) covering neutral-atom compilation (Graphine), quantum GANs, and NISQ error mitigation (QRAFT). Validated core claims across 17+ benchmarks.
Demo · FastAPI / React / REST
Prime Plot: ML-Driven Business Analytics

— Who I Am —
About Me
I'm Dhairya — a Computer Science graduate student specialising in Quantum Computing at Northeastern University's Khoury College. I design and build production-grade quantum systems, backend services, and ML pipelines that bridge theoretical research with real-world hardware constraints.
When I'm not debugging quantum circuits or optimising HPC pipelines, I'm probably listening to F1 race commentary, gaming, or playing guitar.
