About me

I am currently a third-year undergraduate student at the University of Waterloo in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. My main fields of study are Mathematical Physics and Pure Mathematics. I am currently interested in quantum mechanics, quantum information and astrophysics.

I like music, fiction, animes and movies. When I lived in Alberta, I often went hiking in the mountains. I am a strongly self-motivated learner, willing to devote myself to anything that arouses my curiosity.

Before entering the University of Waterloo, I attended High School Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University(上海交通大学附属中学) for grade 10 in Shanghai, China and Western Canada High School for grade 11 and grade 12 in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. 

My CV is available here. 

Publications & Conference Talks

• A proposal to characterize and quantify superoscillations. Abstract: We present a formal definition of superoscillating function in an interval which does not suffer the problems of previous proposals. We illustrate the good behaviour of the definition with several examples. https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.17703. Submitted to Journal of Physics A.

• Detecting cosmological scalar fields using orbital networks of quantum sensors. Abstract: We propose to detect the interaction of a hypothetical coherently evolving cosmological scalar field with an orbital network of quantum sensors, focusing on the GPS satellite network as a test example. Cosmological scenarios, such as a scalar-tensor theory for dark energy or the axi-Higgs model, suggest that such a field may exist. As this field would be (approximately) at rest in the CMB frame, it would exhibit a dipole as a result of the movement of our terrestrial observers relative to the CMB. While the current sensitivity of the GPS network is insufficient to detect a cosmological dipole, future networks of quantum sensors on heliocentric orbits, using state-of-the-art atomic clocks, can reach and exceed this requirement. https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.17873
