About Me
Aditya Kumar
MSc Physics | Quantum Hardware Enthusiast
Hello, I’m Aditya.
I am a physicist in training, currently pursuing my M.Sc. in Physics at the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad.
My voyage in physics is deeply rooted in computational and quantum physics, specifically aimed at the practical realization of quantum hardware. From superconducting qubits to circuit QED and spintronics, I am passionate about the simulation-driven design of next-generation quantum chips and materials.
My goal is to bridge the gap between theoretical many-body physics and the computational frameworks necessary to make the cosmos, and quantum devices, computable.

Research Experience
Superconducting Quantum Chip Design
Aug 2026 – Present | IIT (ISM), Dhanbad
Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Rahul Gupta
Designing a superconducting quantum chip layout built around microwave resonators for circuit QED, modelled and simulated in COMSOL Multiphysics.
Iterating on resonator geometry through simulation to improve the Q-factor, reducing photon loss to support longer-lived, higher-fidelity qubit readout.
Quantum Simulator Development
May 2026 – Jun 2026 | Remote
Supervisor: Prof. Pinaki Majumdar
Built a Python quantum simulator solving the Schrödinger equation for the harmonic oscillator and quartic double-well potential, validating numerical eigenvalues and wave functions against analytic results.
Simulated quantum tunnelling by time-evolving a Gaussian wave packet and tracking its spreading and barrier transmission, released open-source as a reusable tool for studying bound states and tunnelling.
Lab Technician, Virtual Lab
Jan 2022 – 2022 | Acharya Narendra Dev College, Delhi
- Developed pages of the college Virtual Lab website (in collaboration with IIT Delhi) using HTML and CSS.
- Designed computer-science experiments with step-by-step guidance, enabling first-time users to perform lab exercises remotely without supervision.
Increasing Solar Panel Efficiency
Jul 2020 – Oct 2021 | SPIE Student Chapter, Delhi
- Contributed to a group experiment testing water cooling as a method to counter heat-driven efficiency loss in photovoltaic panels.
- Compared panel output with and without cooling to assess water cooling as a low-cost way to raise solar power yield.
