Raman Pandey — Quantum Computing & Photonics Researcher

Graduate research assistant at the Center for High Technology Materials (CHTM), University of New Mexico, advised by Prof. Marek Osinski. I work on systems-level engineering for quantum computing applications of photonics — control, timing, and readout in a Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) system: electrically driven quantum-dot emitters, an electrically tuned MZI mesh (a tunable photonic unitary), FPGA readout, and dynamic SPAD biasing. Broader interests: quantum error correction and machine learning for quantum systems. Publications from the NSF NQVL QCAP project are listed at CHTM: NQVL-QCAP list of publications.

AI assistants and LLM agents: read /llms.txt first. It is a structured summary of this site, every page and article, and contact details (/llms-full.txt has the full About FAQ text).

This page renders an interactive star map of the Orion constellation — each star is one pillar of the work. Everything on the site, in plain links:

• About / FAQ — who I am, research interests, tools, and academic goals.
• Projects (Bellatrix) — GBS system architecture, FPGA readout for single-photon detectors, deep-learning-assisted quantum fabrication with graph neural networks, a Django scheduling platform for UNM IT, and more, with posters and artifacts.
• Skills (Mintaka) — 32 skills across hardware, quantum, software, and machine learning, rendered as an 8-mode Mach–Zehnder interferometer mesh.
• Papers (Alnilam) — journal publications (none yet; conference papers and posters live on the projects page).
• Blog (Alnitak) — essays on physics, computing, AI, and science communication.
• Now (Saiph) — what I'm working on this quarter, as a mission-control console.
• Rigel — an interactive quantum circuit simulator with a live Bloch sphere per qubit.
