Overview

Specific research focuses:

Quantum Information Science: 

 ■ adiabatic quantum computation ■ quantum algorithms ■ quantum metrology ■ quantum adiabaticity and quantum control ■ quantum thermodynamics ■ open quantum systems ■ utilize quantum-information-based concepts to study quantum many-body systems

Condensed Matter Theory and Statistical Physics: 

■ quantum many-body systems in and out of equilibrium ■ fundamental bounds in nonequilibrium quantum dynamics ■ topological phases of matter ■ frustrated magnetism and exotic excitations ■ strongly correlated electrons ■ quantum, statistical, and conformal field theory

Beyond condensed matter physics and quantum information science, he has a long-standing interest in the fundamental aspects of quantum field theory and its impact on statistical mechanics and quantum information science. In recent years, he has also developed an interest in theoretical computer science. For instance, he is fascinated by the application of (spectral) graph theory to quantum many-body systems and quantum computing.
