Yonglong Xie

Yonglong Xie is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Rice University. His research focuses on experimental condensed matter physics, particularly in quantum materials, topological phases, and strongly correlated systems. He employs advanced techniques like scanning probe microscopy and quantum transport measurements to study novel phenomena in quantum materials and two-dimensional heterostructures.

Dr. Xie's work emphasizes developing new microscopy tools, such as scanning single-electron-transistor microscopes, to probe local electronic properties of quantum materials. His research also explores 2D material heterostructures, including twisted bilayer graphene and supermoiré lattices, to uncover exotic quantum states relevant to quantum technologies like sensing and simulation.

Key research areas include topological superconductivity, Majorana zero modes, and the interplay between topology and electronic correlations. His recent publications highlight advancements in imaging quantum states, understanding correlated Chern insulators, and manipulating electron behavior in low-dimensional systems.
