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 classical simulation techniques.

From 2022-2025, I was a Staff Scientist at the NASA 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.

I’m an Editorial Board Member for the journal Quantum Science and Technology. On the CS side, my academic genealogy is: Alan Turing -> Robin Gandy -> Martin Hyland -> Aaron Lauda -> Namit Anand.
