Welcome to Carry the Two, the podcast about how math and statistics impact the world around us from the Institute for Mathematical and Statistical Innovation. While we’re in between our more in-depth seasons, we like to bring you something a little different in mini-season format. And for this mini season, we are going to highlight some of the amazing researchers who have presented at IMSI over the past year. Our fourth guest isKunal Marwaha, a PhD student at the University of Chicago studying quantum computing. Kunal joined us at IMSI for a workshop on The Power of Near-Term Quantum Experiments where he presented a talk titled On the promise of quantum advantage for classical optimization. So, without further ado let’s get into my conversation with Kunal Marwaha. Host Sam Hansen joined Kunal for a conversation about the research in his talk and Kunal’s time at IMSI.
