Lin Zhang

Dr. Lin Zhang holds the position of Postdoctoral Researcher at the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO), specializing in the Quantum Optics Theory research group. He earned his PhD in Condensed Matter Physics from Peking University (CN). His work focuses on understanding ultrafast phase transitions, topological materials, and non-equilibrium quantum dynamics.

Education:

• PhD in Condensed Matter Physics, Peking University, China

Research Interests:

• Ultrafast dynamics in vanadium dioxide and TiSe systems
• Characterization of topological phases via quantum quenches
• High-harmonic spectroscopy for anisotropic phase detection
• Non-equilibrium dynamics in strongly correlated systems

Research Highlights: Dr. Zhang’s work employs cutting-edge techniques such as Floquet engineering and tensor network methods to study phase transitions in condensed matter systems. His 2025 studies on femtosecond phase transitions in vanadium dioxide have advanced understanding of ultrafast material behaviors. Over 15 recent articles demonstrate a focus on topological classification, dynamical characterization, and quantum simulation of complex systems.
