Shenglong Xu obtained his Ph.D. from the University of California, San Diego in 2017 and subsequently completed a three-year postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Maryland before joining Texas A&M University in 2020. His research focuses on condensed matter theory and quantum many-body physics, particularly the emergence of collective behavior in systems governed by the principles of quantum mechanics. His current research interests include quantum many-body dynamics, where he studies the effects of unitary time evolution and the complexities arising from the rapid generation of entanglement entropy in generic quantum systems. Xu aims to design quantum protocols that involve unitary operations and measurements to control quantum dynamics and engineer states with interesting entanglement structures. Moreover, he develops efficient numerical algorithms to simulate quantum many-body systems, navigating the intractable nature of these systems on classical computers while focusing on local observables such as charge and energy.
