Cathy Li

Cathy Li serves as a Research Fellow at the Center for Quantum Information Science and Engineering within the Department of Physics, College of Science, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Her appointment is based in ICTAS II, Room 242 at 1075 Life Science Circle, Blacksburg, VA 24060.

Her research focuses on Statistical Physics and Non-Equilibrium Quantum Dynamics, investigating quantum systems driven out of thermal equilibrium with emphasis on statistical properties, time evolution, and quantum thermodynamics. This work bridges theoretical physics and quantum information science to explore foundational aspects of quantum behavior in non-stationary states.

She operates under the mentorship of Prof. Tianci Zhou as a postdoctoral researcher. No scientific awards or grant funding details are specified in the available documentation. Her laboratory affiliation centers on the interdisciplinary Center for Quantum Information Science and Engineering, which integrates physics, computer science, and engineering to advance quantum computing and sensing technologies.
