Junaid Aftab
PhD Student in Mathematics at University of Maryland, College Park.
Welcome! I am a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Maryland, College Park. My research interests are in mathematical problems arising in quantum information science. I am interested in the following topics:
- Quantum Algorithms
- Classification of Topological Phases of Matter (TPM)
- Topological Quantum Computation
The slogan Pure × Applied captures my philosophy in approaching mathematics. I keep an open mind, and I am keen to learn new mathematical techniques to solve problems of interest to me.
“There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not someday be applied to phenomena of the real world.” – Nikolai Lobachevsky
