Josh_Leiby(He/Him)

Independent researcher specializing in continuous-variable quantum computing and photonic hardware benchmarking.

Current focus: error-resilient state preparation and phase-space dynamics in high-displacement regimes. Recent experiments on IBM Quantum’s 156-qubit ibm_fez (Heron r2) explored multi-mode Gaussian boson sampling and loss-tolerant interference patterns using PennyLane and Strawberry Fields.

Developing open-source benchmarking tools for characterizing noise, photon loss, and phase drift in photonic quantum processors (ibm_fez, Rigetti Ankaa, future Aurora runs). Particular interest in unitary evolution fidelity under extended circuits and homodyne tomography calibration.

Active contributor to CV quantum algorithm design with emphasis on real-hardware validation. Always looking to collaborate on scalable photonic architectures and noise-mitigation strategies.
