Apoorv Tiwari (PI)

I am a theoretical physicist currently interested in generalized symmetries and their applications to quantum matter and quantum computing. I am also interested in understanding properties of far-from-equilibrium quantum matter e.g., arising in driven, dissipative or monitored quantum systems.

Weiguang Cao (postdoc)

I am a theoretical physicist studying quantum field theories and lattice models, focusing on topological properties like symmetries and anomalies to constrain dynamics. My work explores generalized symmetries and its application in condensed matter systems. (webpage)

Jamie Pearson (postdoc)

My broad research interests involve generalised categorical symmetries and their representations. Recently I have been focused on classifying and constructing higher fusion categories, using that information to characterise gapped/gapless IR phases of quantum field theories, and building smooth/non-semi-simple generalisations thereof.

Hao Xu (postdoc)

My research explores the mathematical structures underlying topological phases of quantum many-body systems, with a focus on higher fusion categories that bridge topological quantum field theory, homotopy theory, and representation theory. I am especially interested in enriched category theory, higher Morita theory, boundary-bulk correspondence and categorical spectrum of symmetry enriched topological orders. (webpage)

David Hofmeier (PhD student)

I am interested in categorical symmetries and their relation to quantum matter: How do they manifest in lattice models, constrain phase diagrams, and impact low-energy features? I am also interested in applications of this to quantum information.

Giovanna Pimenta Barbarino (visiting PhD student)

I am working on quantum phases of matter. At the moment I am interested in aspects of lattice models and their connections with topological quantum field theories.
