معرفی
Chao-Ming Jian is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences, specializing in theoretical condensed-matter physics. His research focuses on emergent phenomena in quantum many-body systems, with particular emphasis on topological phases, quantum criticality, and entanglement dynamics.
Research Interests: Jian's theoretical work explores exotic phases in quantum magnets (particularly spin liquids with fractionalized excitations), strongly-interacting quantum critical points, non-Fermi liquids, and entanglement dynamics in quantum systems. His group develops non-perturbative approaches including dualities, quantum anomalies, and dynamical mean-field theories to characterize novel collective behaviors in correlated electron systems, fractional quantum Hall systems, and quantum magnets.
Research Trends: His recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate growing focus on monitored quantum dynamics, measurement-induced criticality, topological domain wall modes, and exotic phase transitions in weakly-decohered systems. Jian frequently employs dualities and quantum anomalies to uncover universal properties of strongly-interacting systems, with increasing connections to quantum information science and error correction.
Awards:
- Sloan Research Fellowship (2024)
- Moore Foundation Fellow at Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (2016-2017, 2018-2019)
- Graduate Fellow at Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (2015)
Advising & Grants: Jian currently advises graduate students Zhou Yang and Asad Bhuiyan. His research is supported by grants enabling experimental collaborations (including IBM quantum processor experiments) and theoretical work on topological phases. He actively participates in outreach through REACT and EYH workshops, developing educational modules on moiré patterns for K-12 students.
Labs & Teams: Jian leads a theoretical research group at Cornell collaborating with experimentalists (notably the Mak-Shan group on frustrated magnetism in Wigner-Mott insulators). His team frequently partners with quantum computing researchers and condensed matter theorists across institutions, particularly on projects involving quantum error correction and topological phases.
