I’m a fifth-year Ph.D. student in Mathematics at UC Davis, specializing in the mathematical foundations of quantum computing.

This encompasses quantum coding theory, computational mathematics, and aspects of theoretical CS. My interests have also expanded into the mathematical structures inherent in machine learning and optimization on manifolds.

I have the unique privilege of being advised by Greg Kuperberg.

In Summer 2023, I was a visiting graduate researcher at Harvard University, fortunate to be hosted by Anurag Anshu. In Summer 2024, I was visiting Suvrit Sra’s group at TU Munich and working on the mathematics of transformers.

Previously, I was an undergrad at the Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering at Jadavpur University, India from 2017 to 2021. I was also an undergraduate research assistant in the Department of Physical Sciences, IISER Kolkata.

You may reach me at dutta[at]ucdavis.edu. My office is at MSB 3229.

We used to run a couple of weekly reading groups at UC Davis on Quantum Algebra and Computational Complexity in hybrid mode.
