I work on exploring how quantum resources are distributed in quantum random circuits. My research focuses on understanding how essential features such as entanglement and non-locality emerge in the states produced by these circuits. I analyze the behavior of various quantum correlations by examining the violation of key inequalities like CHSH, Mermin, and Svetlichny, which serve as indicators of non-local correlations.

In my studies, I compare the outcomes of circuits constructed with different sets of quantum gates. For instance, I contrast the performance of non-universal gate sets (such as the Clifford group) with universal ones (like Clifford+T), highlighting how the choice of gate set influences the distribution of quantum resources across the state space. Through extensive numerical simulations, I also investigate how factors like circuit depth and noise levels affect the robustness and variety of these resources.

Ultimately, my goal is to develop a deeper understanding of the geometric structure of the quantum state space and to lay the groundwork for certification protocols. These protocols aim to assess and verify the performance of quantum processors, ensuring that they can reliably generate states rich in quantum correlations—an essential step toward demonstrating quantum advantage in near-term devices.
