Rishab Dutta

I am a quantum chemist with expertise in quantum mechanics, linear algebra, scientific computing, and science communication.

I am currently a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Chemistry at Yale University. As a member of the Batista lab, one of my current research interests is to explore the potential of hybrid bosonic-qubit quantum computers for molecular sciences. I led the development of the first electronic structure algorithm that can be implemented on bosonic quantum oscillators coupled to qubits by using fermion to boson and qubit to oscillator mapping approaches.

I have a Ph.D. in Chemistry from Rice University, where I was a member of the Scuseria group. My doctoral thesis focused on developing quantum wavefunction methods tailored for strongly correlated paired fermionic and spin-1/2 many-body systems. I helped develop generalizations of the Dicke state and the elementary symmetric polynomial, which inspired me to coin the term binary tree state.
