I am fascinated by the emergence of physical insight from the application of quantum mechanics to solving computational or cryptographic tasks. I was initially drawn to the field by the possibility of having information-theoretic security in certain cryptographic settings. Currently, I am excited by the prospect of understanding and testing various aspects of quantum physics under computational assumptions.
