Xing Fan is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Harvard University, specializing in precision measurements related to the Standard Model of particle physics using ion trap techniques. His research encompasses the study of electron-positron symmetry, matter-antimatter symmetry tests, and axion searches. Dr. Fan's work includes performing quantum-logic spectroscopy (QLS) with electron-positron Penning traps and aiming to attain a stringent test of charge-parity-time (CPT) symmetry in the lepton sector through entangled electrons. Furthermore, his research group focuses on combining ion traps with molecular systems to search for the nuclear Schiff Moment by utilizing advanced ion manipulation techniques and quantum control of molecular states. Among the group's key methodologies are buffer-gas cooling of molecular ions, quantum control of hyperfine states, and nondestructive detection of internal states. Dr. Fan is committed to exploring next-generation techniques that enhance precision measurement capabilities in particle physics, taking advantage of the opportunities provided by nuclear physics facilities.
