Biography

Chao-Ming Jian is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Cornell University. His research interests are primarily in Theoretical Condensed-Matter Physics, focusing on strongly-correlated quantum many-body systems. Jian's work explores exotic quantum phases, including spin liquids and their fractionalized excitations, and he employs non-perturbative approaches to understand their behavior. His studies on quantum critical points and gapless quantum matters investigate the effects of strong interactions on the universal behavior of quantum systems. Additionally, Jian explores the dynamics of quantum entanglement, crucial for understanding thermal equilibrium, quantum information spread, and many-body quantum chaos. He has contributed significantly to the theoretical framework and understanding of these complex systems through numerous publications in high-impact journals.
