hello there

I'm Sawyer.
I build things and think about math.

I'm a researcher and developer with interests in quantum computing, topology, and the mathematics that ties them together. I write about things I'm learning and share projects I'm working on.

Currently based in Isla Vista, CA. Always up for interesting conversations.

Things I find beautiful or worth thinking about.

Topological quantum computation

Anyons in 2D systems braid in ways that encode fault-tolerant qubits — the computation lives in topology, not in fragile local states. The key invariant is the Jones polynomial.

Stabilizer formalism

The Heisenberg representation lets you track n-qubit stabilizer states efficiently — exponential compression from tracking Pauli group generators instead of amplitudes.

Something else you love

Add a short note about any theorem, idea, or open question you keep coming back to.
