Hello! I'm Matt Fishman, a Research Scientist and Software Engineer at the Center for Computational Quantum Physics (CCQ), part of the Flatiron Institute in New York. I lead the development of @ITensor. Find out more on my personal page.
- I received my Ph.D. from Caltech in the Spring of 2018. My thesis was on the development of tensor network algorithms.
- I am currently the lead developer of ITensor (co-developed with @emstoudenmire), a leading tensor network software library with applications to quantum physics, quantum computing, machine learning and chemistry.
- ITensor was originally written in C++. I led the development of the Julia port called ITensors.jl, which was officially released in May of 2020.
- Along with @GTorlai I am a co-developer of the PastaQ.jl Julia library for simulating and analyzing quantum computers.
- I primarily code in Julia and C++ (more in Julia lately).
- I am interesting in writing simple to use and high performance code.
- I am most excited about my recent work in applying tools like automatic differentiation, multithreading, and interactive visualization to improve tensor network software and algorithms.
- I am interested in learning more about applying other high performance computing (HPC) techniques like GPUs and distributed computing to improve tensor network software.
- Check out my repositories and reach out with any questions you have or if you are interested in contributing to the ITensor ecosystem!
