Research Interests: Dr. Wei's work spans quantum information science (quantum computing, entanglement theory, quantum algorithms), condensed matter physics (topological phases, superconductivity, optical lattices), and tensor-network methods (MPS, PEPS). He explores applications in quantum error mitigation, quantum machine learning, and quantum many-body systems. His recent focus includes hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, entanglement detection via Green's functions, and symmetry-enriched topological phases.

Articles Trends: Recent publications emphasize quantum error mitigation techniques, topological phases with non-invertible symmetries, and adaptive quantum circuits for state preparation. His work bridges theoretical frameworks (e.g., AKLT models) with experimental implementations on quantum hardware (e.g., IBM quantum computers).
