Biography

Xiaoliang Qi is a Professor at Stanford University specializing in the fields of Physics, specifically in the interplay of quantum entanglement, quantum gravity, and quantum chaos. His research focuses on characterizing quantum information and quantum entanglement, providing novel insights into the understanding of space-time geometry and the dynamics of chaotic many-body systems. His work is closely related to quantum gravity theory and recent advancements in holographic duality, also known as AdS/CFT, with the goal of using tensor networks and solvable models to achieve a microscopic understanding of emergent space-time geometries, quantum states, and quantum dynamics. Qi is particularly interested in topological states and phenomena within condensed matter systems.
