Stefan Krastanov
Stefan works on the design, control, and optimization of quantum hardware for computation and networking, from its analog physical description up to the compilation of error-corrected logical circuitry running on it. His research centers around leaky abstraction boundaries between the many layers of technologies making up the field of quantum computing and quantum information science. He received his doctorate from Yale's Quantum Institute under Liang Jiang and was a postdoc at MIT's Quantum Photonics group under Dirk Englund. He recently started his own group as faculty at UMass Amherst.
Session
The lack of composable APIs for the design and development of networking protocols in most available modeling tools is a severe drain on developer productivity. We present a family of abstractions and APIs, together with their implementation in the QuantumSavory.jl package, which make it possible to design large-scale quantum networking simulations in a scalable and manageable way.
