Pratik Das Email & Phone Number

I'm an Innovation Lead in Capgemini Technology Services India Ltd. As a part of the innovation team, we try and test new technologies and build use case showcasing their applications in a business scenario. Before my current designation, I was a Quantum Communication Team Lead and a Quantum Research Associate in Qulabs Software (India) Pvt Ltd, working on Quantum Secure Direct Communication (QSDC) and Quantum Secret Sharing (QSS). During my tenure in Qulabs, I contributed in the development of the company's quantum network simulator, and achieved a 20% reduction in user training and reduced technical debt by 30% through meticulous code cleanups. I also collaborated with Qulabs' memory team to expedite the development of rubidium-based quantum memory cells by 15% and made the hardware 50% more approachable by designing a programming interface for their control electronics.I completed my postgraduate in physics from IIT Madras, specialising in Quantum Computation & Quantum Information with Quantum Metrology, Photonics and Coherent & Quantum Optics. Due to my exposure to computers at an early age, I've become proficient in coding, but specialised myself in languages like Python, C++, Java and Fortran. During my academic years, my personal interest in quantum computation have led me to develop skills in Quantum Programming, specially in packages like Qiskit, Pennylane and Cirq. Demands in my career responsibilities have made me proficient in machine-learning packages like TensorFlow and PyTorch, with required skills in using MS Office tools. My lab works and research analysis during my postgraduate years taught me the ways to use Latex for my reports and MATLAB & Simulink for digital-electronics simulations.In the field of Quantum Computation & Information, I'm eager to expend my skills in the direction of High-Dimensional Quantum Computing, and developing quantum software solutions for real-world applications. In addition to all these, I keep an academic interest in Relativistic Quantum Information, and Quantum Information-theoretic description of Matter and Spacetime. I also like to solve chess puzzles, as a hobby, and am open to a challenge to develop my strategy skills in the game.
