Namit Anand

I’m a Research Scientist in the HPE Quantum and Emergent Machine Intelligence team at HPE Labs. My research lies at the intersection of quantum information, many-body physics, and computational complexity.

From 2022-2025, I was a Staff Scientist at NASA Ames’ Quantum AI Lab (QuAIL) and KBR. In Summer 2022, I received my PhD in Physics from the University of Southern California under the supervision of Paolo Zanardi and Aaron Lauda.

Mathematics Genealogy Project: on the CS side, my academic genealogy is: Alan Turing -> Robin Gandy -> Martin Hyland -> Aaron Lauda -> Namit Anand.
