I recently completed my M.Sc. in Physics and operate as a Computational Quantum Theorist. My research philosophy is strictly math-first. I rigorously derive analytical frameworks, such as optimal POVMs and generalized state discrimination, before validating them computationally on near-term quantum hardware.

As a published first-author in the Q1 journal AVS Quantum Science, I developed a novel entanglement teleportation protocol. I formulated a geometric approach to state discrimination and expanded upon this to introduce the phiQKD protocol, which is currently available as a preprint on arXiv. Furthermore, as an active IBM Qiskit Advocate and a certified instructor for QWorld, my daily workflow bridges foundational theoretical physics with modern quantum programming using Python, Qiskit, and PennyLane.

While my foundation is built on secure quantum communication, my current research focuses on simulating complex, interacting physical systems. I am actively exploring how to map fundamental questions of nature onto computational platforms, ranging from open quantum systems to modeling entanglement dynamics in holographic black hole toy models.

I value intellectual integrity, rigorous long-form thinking, and research environments that challenge the status quo. My ultimate goal is to pursue a Ph.D. in theoretical quantum information and eventually build an inclusive research lab in Bangladesh that empowers unconventional thinkers to move beyond outdated curricula.
