Anant just graduated from Fergusson College in Pune with a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc - FC'23) in Physics. As part of his Bachelor's thesis, he was working with Qulabs on Blind Quantum Computing, developing a universal blind quantum computing (UBQC) simulator. Before this, he interned with various companies, working on topics such as Protein Folding, Material Deformation Problems (BMW Challenges 2020), and others. Aside from quantum information and technology, Anant has an interest in particle physics, radio astronomy, mythology, and just about everything else. He enjoys football, cricket, and volleyball in his leisure time. He also enjoys hiking and listening to music. At CQuERE, he currently works as an intern on Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Information.

Anumita Mukhopadhyay did her BSc in physics from University of Calcutta and MSc from Ramakrishna Mission Vivekananda Educational and Research Institute, Belur Math campus. She had an interest in Natural Sciences from her early school days and decided to become a researcher. She became interested in Quantum Computing while doing her MSc as she did her MSc project on this topic. She is now doing her PhD on quantum algorithms and/or quantum machine learning under Dr. Shibdas Roy. Besides that, she is interested in bengali literature, history, mythology, music etc. She likes to recite bengali poems and is a beginner in playing Guitar.

Srushti completed her BS-MS from IISER Tirupati with a major in Physics. Her research interests lie in the field of Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Machine Learning. She was working as an intern at CQuERE in the field of Quantum State Tomography.

Aster was a Physics student doing their BS-MS degree at IISER Tirupati. They pursued their MS Thesis Research on the topic of Quantum Algorithms under the supervision of Dr. Shibdas Roy at CQuERE. Apart from their interest in Natural Sciences, they occasionally enjoy studying political philosophy, media arts and literature.

Sanchita completed her BTech in Computer Science in 2018 from Kalinga Institute of Technology. Thereafter, she has worked as a software engineer for 3 years. Having recently developed an interest in Quantum Computation, she was exploring this field with a focus on quantum algorithms as an intern here at CQuERE.
