About Me

I am a Master's student in AI Convergence at Pukyong National University, South Korea, and a researcher in the Quantum Computing Laboratory. My research focuses on quantum circuit compilation, resource-efficient quantum simulation, and hardware-aware quantum machine learning. My current project, Q-MaskCut, protects quantum circuits by cutting them into masked subcircuits, and my journal paper comparing quantum circuit protection methods after compilation is submitted to Physica Scripta.

Beyond research, I bring experience in teaching, software development, and DevOps engineering from my work at ISTAD in Cambodia (2024–2025). I also lead KhmerStack, an open-source community building developer tools and supporting the growth of Cambodia’s technology ecosystem.

I plan to complete my degree in 2027 and return to Cambodia to contribute to research, education, and the growing Khmer developer community - bridging AI and quantum research with efficient, accessible, and impactful technology.

Q-MaskCut

Quantum circuit protection via masked circuit cutting

  • A compilation method that cuts a circuit into masked subcircuits, hiding its structure from untrusted compilers and hardware providers while keeping it executable.
  • Benchmarked against ECQCO using normalized graph edit distance (normGED), total variation distance (TVD), and fidelity change - measuring both obfuscation strength and functional preservation.
  • Thesis targeted for the 2026 second-semester examination.

Evaluating Quantum Circuit Protection After Compilation

An empirical comparison

  • Compares quantum circuit protection methods after the circuit has been compiled, to see how well each one really hides the circuit. Submitted to Physica Scripta (IOP Publishing).
