Hi 👋, I'm Pushkar Kumar

⚛️ |Pushkar⟩ = α|Quantum⟩ + β|AI⟩ — Turning quantum theory and AI into real-world systems

Coding

  • 🎓 B.Tech Computer Science at MIT ADT University — AI & Edge Computing, Quantum Technologies minor
  • ⚛️ Qiskit Advocate at IBM · Lead Organizer, Qiskit Fall Fest 2026 · Technical Team Lead, QQuEST
  • 🔬 QIntern 2026 with QWorld and the Moderna challenge in the WISER Global Quantum+AI Program — both completed
  • 🧠 Building Quantum Arcade, an interactive way to learn quantum computing, and RepoBridge, grounded repository context for LLMs
  • 📊 Every project below says what can be checked — including the ones where the answer is "not yet"
  • 🌐 Full case studies with the limitations included → my portfolio

🧭 About Me

I work where physics, math, and computer science meet — quantum algorithms on one side, production machine learning on the other.

Most of what I do comes down to the same thing: making a system's real behaviour visible. That means building the control that tells you which component failed, catching the data leakage in your own result before someone else does, and reporting the number you got rather than the number you wanted.

I like to:

  • Design and reason about quantum algorithms at the circuit level — Grover oracles, variational solvers, encoding schemes
  • Build end-to-end ML workflows: data → distributed training → evaluation → deployment
  • Turn ideas from papers and workshops into working, measured prototypes
  • Write things up so a reader can check the claims instead of taking them on trust

🚀 What I'm Building

🎮 Quantum Arcade — live

Learn quantum computing the way you'd learn a language: short interactive levels with immediate feedback, real state vector evaluation underneath rather than scripted animations. Start at Level 1 in the browser, no account needed.

🌉 RepoBridge — deploying soon

Turns a public GitHub repository into grounded, traceable context for an LLM. Every file is accounted for, every omission carries a reason, and every summary states what it was built from — because a confident summary of a repository nobody read looks exactly like one of a repository that was.


🔬 Selected Work

⚛️ Quantum Document Pipeline — QIntern 2026, QWorld

FRQI/NEQR encoding, a quanvolutional feature layer, and a Grover comparator oracle, benchmarked against Tesseract with 30-split significance testing. An earlier run of mine reported a +1.4 point gain — the angle search had touched rows that later appeared in the test set, and re-running with a sealed partition brought it to +0.1. Both numbers are in the report.

Reproduces from a clean clone in under a minute. Scoped for three people; all 23 commits are mine.

🧬 RNA Folding with Quantum Optimization — WISER × Moderna challenge

CVaR-VQE reproduces ViennaRNA's exact minimum-free-energy structure at a 0.000 kcal/mol gap, holding across 35 runs under shot and depolarizing noise. Where it missed, exhaustive brute force over the same QUBO missed identically — proving the limitation was in the formulation, not the optimizer.

⚡ Distributed Training on GCP Vertex AI

Multi-GPU Longformer fine-tuning with a self-relaunching accelerate topology, rank-gated tokenization behind a barrier file, explicit NCCL configuration, and a four-destination checkpoint strategy. Plus a cheap smoke test that validates IAM and GCS access before any GPU spins up — written after a silent deadlock ran unattended for twenty hours and produced nothing.

🌿 Plant Disease Detection (DenseNet-169)

Two-stage pipeline: contour/HSV localisation, then DenseNet-169 across 15 PlantVillage classes. 97.8% accuracy, 97.7% macro F1 on 4,134 images — though validation drove checkpoint selection, so that number is optimistically biased and I say so. The confidence floor was chosen by measurement: my first instinct of 0.40 would have suppressed zero errors, so it ships at 0.80.

📰 Veritas AI — long-context misinformation classification

Longformer across three iterations. v1 had a malformed global attention mask that differed between training and inference, so Longformer's defining mechanism was misconfigured for the whole run. v2 fixes it and trains on ISOT, LIAR and FEVER merged on Vertex AI.

🧪 Quantum Toybox

Ten quantum algorithms as runnable notebooks — Bell states, teleportation, Deutsch–Jozsa, Bernstein–Vazirani, Grover, QFT, phase estimation, VQE, and basic error correction. A learning and reference collection, not a packaged library.
