My Fulbright research aims to scale-up the current quantum processing capability with the required error-correction, to eventually develop a quantum computer. It nurtures collaboration between two countries at the forefront of quantum computing to explore each other’s unique pathways and progress to achieve this feat and advance quicker as one.
Keshavi is a recent dual-degree graduate in advanced physics (honours) and aerospace engineering (honours). Her journey began in her first physics class when she savoured the depths of curiosity and developed a very human nature to question and reason the mechanics of the world. This innate drive pulled her closer to quantum mechanics, which although is present in every aspect of our world, is the least understood. She is similarly amazed by the big questions surrounding us, in wondrous outer-space.
With her Fulbright research, Keshavi aims to explore this field of quantum mechanics and apply it to quantum computing to produce a tangible machine for the benefit of many engineering industries. She is driven to bring this innovation to the space industry and nurture exploration beyond the horizons.
