Academic Achievements
- Published papers: 'Hamiltonian Decoded Quantum Interferometry' (2025), 'Average-Case Complexity of Quantum Stabilizer Decoding' (2025), 'Cloning Games, Black Holes and Cryptography' (2024), 'The Learning Stabilizers with Noise Problem' (2024). These papers were featured talks at QIP 2026.
Research Experience
- Was a postdoctoral researcher at MIT, hosted by Vinod Vaikuntanathan and Peter Shor. Long-term visitor at the Simons Institute for the Theory of Computing at UC Berkeley, attending the 2020 spring program 'The Quantum Wave in Computing.' Awarded a Quantum Computing Summer Fellowship to work at Los Alamos National Laboratory in the summer of 2018. Before Caltech, a long-term visitor at the University of Copenhagen, working with Gorjan Alagic at the Centre for the Mathematics of Quantum Theory.
Education
- PhD in Computer Science from California Institute of Technology (2018-2023), advised by Thomas Vidick; MSc in Physics from the University of Heidelberg (2015-2017); BSc in Mathematics from the University of Heidelberg (2011-2015).
Background
- Currently an Assistant Professor at Boston University, with a joint affiliation in the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Physics. Research interests include theoretical aspects of quantum computation and its implications for both physics and cryptography.
Miscellany
- Social media: Twitter/X: @aporemba_, Bluesky: @aporemba. Organizes a bi-weekly Quantum Seminar at BU. Created Quantum @ BU, a new Slack channel for all things quantum around Boston University.
