Quantum Hardware by AiQyam

AiQyam, being a first ever quantum hardware focused community in India. It aims at being a venture which produces scalable quantum hardware products. As all the journey's have a begining, so did AiQyam had. Abeer, Archit and Nilay were part of Quantum Computing India over the past one year. These three are the hardware geeks, who were the minds behind AiQyam. In Quantum Computing India, we have a vertical dedicated to Quantum Hardware. With the uprising in the international quantum community with introductions to various scalable quantum hardware architectures, we discussed that the entire world focuses majorly on Development of softwares in regards to quantum computing. We to go all hardware, as that's what we all three liked. The first step as AiQyam, was setting up Quantum Hardware Learning Circle. Where we recruited only 7 out of 29 entries we recieved. With IBM Qiskit Metal, being an open source tool and also Qiskit Pulse. In our learning circle we work as two verticals, one focuses on using IBM Qiskit Metal, for designing Quantum Chip and the one focuses on optimising the pulse schedules for better interaction with the qubits.We further will bring in more interaction with the universities and hold fellowship program. Further to involve the entire public, we'll be coming up with hackathons and workshops focusing on quantum hardware

Mahima

I am working as Assistant Professor, Division of Computer Science & Engineering at Cochin University of Science and Technology and Research Scholar at IIIT Kottayam working towards developing Quantum-Safe Cryptographic scheme. I previously, worked as SAP Techno-Functional at Accenture Services Pvt. Ltd. My research areas include Quantum-Safe: Post-Quantum Cryptography, Network Security, Ethical Hacking, Digital Forensics and Delay Tolerant Networks. I was also associated with Cyber Cell, Kerala, Alappuzha as project Intern. I have given multiple talks on Quantum Safe Cryptography, Digital awareness and hands on sessions on Ethical Hacking for students, faculty and industry professionals.

Quantum Machine Learning Facilitators

QCI QML Team members are working building libraries for bridging various Machine Learning models with available QML frameworks, Quantum NLP, Application QNLP for Machine Reading Comprehension, generalizing Feature Map problems, Quantum Circuits to increase the accuracy of classic Machine Learning models.
