Yin Lab
Principal Investigator: Xi Yin
About the Lab
I am a theoretical physicist interested in quantum field theory, string theory, and mathematical physics.
What Research Looks Like
Depends on the ability of student
Example Undergraduate Projects
- A visiting undergraduate from Caltech implemented matrix quantum mechanics bootstrap code on quantum information conic solver — wrote a single-author paper
- Study of renormalization group flow of supersymmetric chiral nonlinear sigma models
Prerequisites & Skills
Quantum field theory; coding skills help
