Quantum computing and quantum machine learning

Formally: My research focuses on integrating quantum low-density parity-check (qLDPC) error-correcting codes into quantum convolutional neural networks (QCNNs) to improve their stability under quantum error and noise. I aim to use these codes as state stabilizers and correcting for quantum gate errors, enhancing training and testing accuracy on quantum hardware with finite sampling constraints. I have developed and validated a QCNN baseline through statevector simulations and extended it with a novel QCNN+qLDPC architecture. By leveraging IBM Quantum's platform, I systematically tune hyperparameters and benchmark performance under realistic quantum noise conditions. Ultimately, my work explores practical strategies to make quantum machine learning models more robust and scalable for near-term quantum devices. I am working towards publication and hope to share it here soon!

More informally: I study how to make quantum computers work better and more reliably. I focus on helping quantum AI handle mistakes and noise so it can learn more accurately. My work combines simulations and real quantum computers to build smarter, more practical quantum technologies.

Papers

Name: Final Paper for Hardware for Deep Learning: Quantum Algorithms for Deep Convolutional Neural Networks [PDF]
Preview: Computer scientists utilize principles of quantum mechanics, mathematics, and computer science in quantum computing. By borrowing concepts from each field scientists can rigorously define both a broad and narrow theoretical model of a quantum computer and later apply it to the real world. These theoretical models, such as the result...

Current Projects

Name: Credit Card Fraud Detection using a Quantum Support Vector Machine [Code]
Description: Applying a Quantum Support Vector Machine for credit card fraud detection in Qiskit. The applied QSVM makes use of quantum enhanced feature space optimization based on the research paper, Supervised Learning with Quantum Enhanced Feature Spaces. The classifier used is a Variational Quantum Classifier with 29-dimensional ZZ feature mapping for a 2-qubit quantum kernel.

Name: My Cloud Based Artifical Intelligence with Robot Interface [Website]
Description: A robot I built that communicates with a remote server running artifical intelligence software I designed and programmed from scratch. Meaning, you can talk to the exact same Jarcey that is running in this robot, either on this website context switching, on jarcey's own website, or any device with an internet connection. This is because all communication, data, and programs are transimitted to, from, and processed on the same one remote server.

Name: Autonomous AI Agents Ecosystem Simulator [Code]
Description: Machine learning autonomous agents exploring and learning in a dynamically generated virtual ecosystem.
