Research
My research includes, but is not limited, to the following topics:
Geometric and topological effects in physical systems: Topological effects in thermal and quantum transport; topological and geometric phases of pure and mixed quantum states; quantum geometric tensors; proximity and spatial quenches in multi-phase systems; topological excitations and invariants in many-body physics.
Ultracold atoms and molecules: Spherical-shell Fermi and Bose gases; quantum vortices and vortex lattices; BCS-BEC crossover; population-imbalanced Fermi superfluids; ultralong range Rydberg molecules; artificial gauge fields and synthetic dimensions.
Artificial intelligence and quantum computing: Machine learning of geometric and topological effects; machine learning of mixed classical and quantum systems; simulations of topological and geometric effects on cloud-based quantum computers; artificial-intelligence assisted optimization of quantum computation; quantum computing of molecular physics; quantum walks and machine learning.
