I am Avantika Agarwal, a third year graduate student at the Institute for Quantum Computing at University of Waterloo. My advisors are Prof. Shalev Ben-David and Prof. Eric Blais. Before this, I was an undergraduate student at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi, where I was advised by Prof. Venkata Koppula.
I am interested in complexity theory and quantum information. I like thinking about quantum query algorithms, low degree polynomials and oracle separations. Recently, I have also been learning about quantum channel capacity and error-correcting codes.
