Completed a Bachelor's Project under Prof. Siddhartha Santra at the Department of Physics, IIT Bombay on "The Role of Entanglement in Quantum Algorithms: The QAOA Perspective". Awarded an AA grade (the highest grade) and an opportunity to extend the research to fundamentals relations between irreversibility, complexity and entanglement.Explored the evolution of entanglement using discrete and continuous measures in the QAOA algorithm applied on the MaxCut problem for graphs of different topologies.Probed the potential for a quantum advantage on difficult problems through the evolution of the discrete Schmidt rank entanglement.
