Narayanan Rengaswamy

Narayanan Rengaswamy is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona. He is also a member of the NSF Engineering Research Center for Quantum Networks (CQN) and the DoE-funded Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems (SQMS) Center.

His educational background includes:

• PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Duke University (2020)
• MS in Electrical Engineering from Texas A&M University (2015)
• BTech in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Amrita University, India (2013)

Rengaswamy's research focuses on the intersection of classical and quantum information theory, with particular expertise in error correction techniques for quantum systems. His work spans quantum computing, quantum networking, and quantum communications, developing novel approaches to fault-tolerant quantum information processing. He has made significant contributions to quantum LDPC codes, stabilizer codes, and the Clifford hierarchy, bridging classical coding theory with quantum applications. His research has practical implications for building scalable quantum computers and quantum networks.

His publication record reveals a strong focus on quantum error correction, with particular attention to LDPC codes, stabilizer codes, and fault-tolerant architectures. The research trajectory shows progression from foundational work on classical-quantum connections to increasingly sophisticated quantum error correction schemes, with growing emphasis on practical implementations for quantum hardware.

Awards and recognitions include:

• Selected for a talk at the 2020 Conference on Quantum Information Processing (QIP)
• Chosen finalist for the NSF ERC Perfect Pitch Competition

Rengaswamy serves as a reviewer for several journals and conferences, and was on the Posters Program Committee of the 2022 International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering (QCE22).
