Xueda Wen obtained his Ph.D. in theoretical condensed matter physics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2017, working with Shinsei Ryu on the quantum entanglement aspect of many-body physics ranging from topological phases to quantum critical systems. He then worked as a Moore postdoctoral fellow at MIT from 2017 to 2020, and then as a Simons Collaboration postdoctoral fellow which is a joint position at Harvard/CU Boulder from 2020 to 2023. He joined School of Physics in Georgia Tech in 2024.
Xueda's work focuses on theoretical physics. Specific research interests include: – Non-equilibrium physics in quantum many-body systems – Topological phases in general dimensions – Connection between quantum many-body physics and quantum information science
