Hello Travis, Thank you for the prompt answer. I think that this is a good time to talk a little about myself and my experience with algebra and quantum in general. In the 10-th grade in highschool I have take an graduate course in quantum mechanics and one in algebra because i was participating in a experimental physics challenge by the CERN institute. Even though i have ever have always had an affinity for mathematics and theoretical work i have decided to go study engineering. In my first year in the university I have had the chance to meet Pantelimon George Popescu a great teacher and scientist with whom i am working right now on numerical methods research, as a research assistant. He is the one that introduced me to this field of quantum computing and he is helping me each step of the way. I have encounter the Lie super-algebra for the first time in highschool when i researched about the Higgs bosons (From my perspective they should have won the Nobel prize). Even though i am an engineer by design I will always stay true to the mathematical and researched background. I am really passionate about the theory of groups and their applications(as you may probably already seen i am more concerned about the applications of the things that i am doing rather that their mathematical beauty) and right now i am working together with mathematical and numerical methods professors. I really like this project because i feel that a quantum revolution is upon us and I will be more than excited to be a part of it. I have some experience in C, Python, Cython, Matlab etc.( more that 20k lines of code) but I do not consider myself to be a good fit in pure programming writing task. I like more the part where i need to thing about what i am writing that the simple implementations details. For example last weekend I was part of a hackathlon where we have developed a signature forgery detection software and i have spent all the 24 h developing the algorithm for signature checking (the novelty of the idea comes from checking the signature in real time not just after you have written it). Regarding your questions about my experience with representation theory and algebra i have been a part of some teams that are working with concept from this fields and i think i have a strong base. I do not know how deeply immersed in this concepts you want me to be and i think the best idea for me and this project as well is for us to have a discussion to better understand your needs and also it will be a good opportunity for you to evaluate my knowledge of the field. If you will not find in me a suit for this project please point me to one that will better suite my experience and interests. Giving the fact that your entire platform and all of the GSoC project are more research orientated I would love to work for you this summer.
Also please feel free to find my resume attached. Kind regards, Tiberiu PS: I have send an request to tracker to start solving tickets but it has not been approved.
