“I think nature’s imagination is so much greater than man’s, she’s never going to let us relax.”Richard Feynman
I am trying to understand nature. For a long time I drew it; now am learning to compute it. Most of what I do takes place at the boundary between matter and antimatter, between fields and the lattices we use to imitate them.
I grew up in a boarding school in the foothills of the Shivaliks - a place built around beauty and silence, where I learned to thinking about enormous possiblities happening at a time process them in imagination. I did badly at school, in the technical sense, and well at the back bench. I read Feynman’s 1981 lecture on simulating physics by accident, and never quite recovered.
At present I run a small lab called Deeprealm, where we are building a discovery engine on quantum hardware. The rest of my time goes to two open frameworks - Antinature for the lighter side of matter, and DiracLab for the field-theoretic layer beneath chemistry. Outside of this, I am quiet.
Where we are building universal discovery engine powered by native quantum simulation. We are trying to do for matter what AlphaFold did for proteins.

Episodes recorded in my room, mostly about physics, sometimes about loneliness, occasionally about the difference between the two. New ones arrive when they want to.
