Apoorv Tiwari (PI)

I am a theoretical physicist currently interested in generalized symmetries and their applications to quantum matter and quantum computing. I am also interested in understanding properties of far-from-equilibrium quantum matter e.g., arising in driven, dissipative or monitored quantum systems.

Weiguang Cao (postdoc)

I am a theoretical physicist studying quantum field theories and lattice models, focusing on topological properties like symmetries and anomalies to constrain dynamics. My work explores generalized symmetries and its application in condensed matter systems. (webpage)

David Hofmeier (PhD student)

I am interested in categorical symmetries and their relation to quantum matter: How do they manifest in lattice models, constrain phase diagrams, and impact low-energy features? I am also interested in applications of this to quantum information.

Giovanna Pimenta Barbarino (visiting PhD student)

I am working on quantum phases of matter. At the moment I am interested in aspects of lattice models and their connections with topological quantum field theories.
