Dr. Tianrui Xu
I received my B.Sc. in physics and mathematics at the University of British Columbia in 2016 and my M.A. and Ph.D. in physics at University of California at Berkeley in 2021, under the supervision of Prof. Joel E. Moore. I joined Prof. Rey’s group in fall, 2021.
My main research interest lies in quantum dynamics of correlated fermions. Before coming to JILA, I focused my research mainly on superconducting systems under mean-field approximation, both in- and out-of-equilibrium, as can be probed in ultrafast experiments. I have also explored some phenomena that are not specifically related to fermions, such as Anderson localization with long-range interactions and quantum chaos. My current research focuses on multilevel, many-body systems with SU(N) symmetry, as can be realized with fermionic alkaline-earth atoms in optical lattices and cavities. I am excited to explore the phases and dynamics emerging from such systems and their connections to solids.

The Physics Frontiers Centers (PFC) program supports university-based centers and institutes where the collective efforts of a larger group of individuals can enable transformational advances in the most promising research areas. The program is designed to foster major breakthroughs at the intellectual frontiers of physics by providing needed resources such as combinations of talents, skills, disciplines, and/or specialized infrastructure, not usually available to individual investigators or small groups, in an environment in which the collective efforts of the larger group can be shown to be seminal to promoting significant progress in the science and the education of students. PFCs also include creative, substantive activities aimed at enhancing education, broadening participation of traditionally underrepresented groups, and outreach to the scientific community and general public.
