My research lies at the intersection of Condensed Matter Theory and Quantum Information Science, focusing on the identification and characterization of quantum phases through their underlying entanglement structures.
Topological & Fracton Orders
Entanglement structure.
Topological excitations for fault-tolerant topological quantum computation.
Fracton topological orders and their unique mobility constraints.
Strongly Correlated Gapless Systems
Quantum Spin Liquids
Quantum Phase Transitions
(non-)Fermi liquid phases.
Theoretical Methodologies
Quantum Field Theory (QFT) describes effective low-energy physics.
Renormalization Group (RG) analysis to determine the scaling behavior of emergent phenomena.
