Qing Zhang

Qing Zhang is a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His research focuses on quantum algebra, category theory, and mathematical physics, with a particular emphasis on modular and super-modular categories, their structural properties, and applications in topological quantum computing and low-dimensional topology.

His work explores topics such as modular tensor categories, Galois orbits, zesting techniques, and fusion rules. Recent studies include non-semisimple modular categories and equivariantization in topological phases of matter. Zhang's contributions bridge algebraic structures with physical applications, addressing challenges in quantum symmetry classification and topological invariants.
