Zhang
He earned my B.Sc in Physics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2020. Subsequently, he started my Ph.D in Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder in fall 2020, and joined Professor Rey's research group one year later. His research interests are centered around quantum simulation and meteorology utilizing highly tunable quantum many-body systems. Currently, he is focused on the Hamiltonian engineering of quantum spin models using matter wave interferometers with cavity QED systems.
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.
