I like quantum algorithms ⚛ Any/all 🚹 Quantum scientist @ QuantumBasel and QC2, Univeristät Basel 🇮🇳🇨🇭 Opinions are my own
Really excited to share this chat with Awanish Pandey, an optics and photonics professor at IIT Delhi. Very insightful and fun conversations with a great sense of humour all along :) And of course a shout out to my co-host Priya! Stay tuned for more episodes!
