Pranav Kairon

I am a second-year PhD student in the Clark Group at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, working with Bryan Clark. My research sits at the intersection of quantum many-body physics, quantum information, and machine learning.

I’m currently working on problems involving fixed-Node Diffusion Monte Carlo, Measurement-induced phase transitions, quantum simulation and resource estimation for strongly correlated systems

Prior to UIUC, I completed my MSc in Physics at the University of British Columbia and the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute, where I was supervised by Roman Krems.

Outside of research, I enjoy cycling, playing cricket, hiking, and spending time with friends and family.

Research directions

02

Quantum information

Information, entanglement, and dynamics in complex quantum systems.

03

Machine learning

New learning-based approaches for difficult problems in quantum physics.
