معرفی
Xueda Wen is an Assistant Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, specializing in theoretical physics with a focus on quantum many-body systems and topological phases. He holds a PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2017), followed by postdoctoral positions as a Moore Fellow at MIT (2017–2020) and a Simons Collaboration Fellow at Harvard & CU Boulder (2020–2023). His research explores non-equilibrium dynamics in quantum systems, topological order across dimensions, and intersections with quantum information science.
Key research themes include:
- Non-equilibrium physics in quantum many-body systems
- Topological phases beyond two dimensions
- Quantum information connections in many-body systems
- Floquet engineering and driven quantum criticality
His recent work investigates universal behaviors in driven conformal field theories, Berry curvature in parametrized systems, and entanglement dynamics in non-Hermitian and topological settings. Teaching includes a 2024 Spring course on quantum information and computation.
Notable contributions involve classifying Floquet topological phases, analyzing conformal interface relaxation, and developing tensor network methods for ground state characterization. His research bridges foundational theory with applications in quantum simulation and topological materials.
