Ranee Kathryn Brylinski (née Gupta, born January 28, 1957)[1] is an American mathematician known for her research in representation theory and quantum logic gates.
[1] She graduated from Princeton University in 1977,[1][2] and completed her Ph.D. at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1981.
She originally developed this filtration in 1989, motivated by earlier work of Bertram Kostant.
In 1998, she won the G. de B. Robinson Award of the Canadian Mathematical Society[1][2] for her work on quantization of algebraic groups.
[Q4D] With Goong Chen, Brylinski is the editor of the book Mathematics of Quantum Computation (Chapman & Hall/CRC, 2002).
