Previously, Anindita held a short postdoctoral appointment in physics for ML foundations, supervised by Prof. Cengiz Pehlevan, at Harvard Applied Math (May-August 2023). She earned her PhD in theoretical high-energy physics (string theory and particle theory division) at Northeastern University and the NSF AI Institute for Artificial Intelligence and Fundamental Interactions (IAIFI) in May 2023, under the supervision of Prof. James Halverson. Anindita received her Integrated Bachelors and Masters in Engineering Physics at IIT Bombay in Aug 2017, supervised by Prof. Urjit Yajnik. Anindita’s research lies at the intersection of AI/ML, quantum, and statistical physics. In short, she works on Physics of Learning and ML for Quantum. Broadly, Anindita uses theoretical physics concepts: such as Feynman path integrals, renormalization group flow, computational statistics, and random matrix theory, to develop a physics-informed theoretical foundation for ML and to guide the principled design of AI systems. Anindita applies this framework to construct interpretable and trustworthy AI- and ML-based simulation strategies for quantum field theory and quantum many-body physics.';

+    abstract:
+      "In 2018, Krenn reported that certain problems related to the perfect matchings and colourings of graphs emerge out of studying constructability of general quantum states using modern photonic technologies.\n\nHe realized that if we can prove that the weighted matching index of a graph, a parameter defined in terms of perfect matchings and colourings of the graph is at most 2, that could lead to exciting insights on the potential of resources of quantum inference. Motivated by this, he conjectured that the weighted matching index of any graph is at most 2. The first result on this conjecture was by Bogdanov, who proved that the unweighted matching index is at most 2, thus classifying graphs non-isomorphic to K_4 into Type 0, Type 1 and Type 2. By definition, the weighted matching index of Type 0 graphs is 0. We give a structural characterization for Type 2 graphs, using which we settle Krenn's conjecture for Type 2 graphs.\n\nWe also present several other results regarding Krenn's conjecture: (1) Krenn's conjecture is true for multi-graphs whose underlying simple graph is of maximum degree at most 3. Also we show that Krenn's conjecture is true when the underlying simple graph has vertex connectivity at most 2. We also show some non-constructability results when the experiment graph is assumed to be simple.\n\nRefreshments will be served before the talk.",
