About Me

My name is Mayuran Visakan and I’m currently attending the MSc Statistics course at Imperial College London. I have a maths background with an undergraduate degree in Mathematics from the University of Cambridge. My interests include machine learning, data science, and do more. I also love learning new languages and I am currently aiming to learn C++.

Tech Stack

I have experience in a number of programming languages with advanced experience in Python, R, Matlab and Typescript/Javascript. This includes a detailed understanding of both HTML and CSS. I also have intermediate experience in Excel and C.

My skillset also includes advanced knowledge of shell scripting, version control using git and database access using SQLite. I also have in-depth knowledge of setting up development environments including virtual environments and environment variables.

I also have extensive experience with the markup languages $\LaTeX$ and Markdown for creating professional and academic documents.

Python

I have experience with a number of popular python packages including Numpy, Pandas, SciPy and SciKit-Learn. I also have experience with the machine learning libraries PyTorch and Tensorflow.

Can Quantum-Mechanical Description of Physical Reality Be Considered Complete?

Phys. Rev., May 1935

In a complete theory there is an element corresponding to each element of reality. A sufficient condition for the reality of a physical quantity is the possibility of predicting it with certainty, without disturbing the system. In quantum mechanics in the case of two physical quantities described by non-commuting operators, the knowledge of one precludes the knowledge of the other. Then either (1) the description of reality given by the wave function in quantum mechanics is not complete or (2) these two quantities cannot have simultaneous reality. Consideration of the problem of making predictions concerning a system on the basis of measurements made on another system that had previously interacted with it leads to the result that if (1) is false then (2) is also false. One is thus led to conclude that the description of reality as given by a wave function is not complete.
