About Zi Yang

Zi Yang Meng is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Hong Kong. He obtained his B.Sc. from the University of Science and Technology of China and Ph.D. from the University of Stuttgart, followed by postdoctoral fellowships in the United States and Canada. Prior to joining HKU, he was a Professor at the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. His research focuses on quantum many-body computation and the modelling and explanation of quantum materials, developing large-scale numerical simulations utilizing modern field-theoretical and topological insights. Key areas include quantum many-body physics, quantum phase transitions and entanglement, quantum Monte Carlo and tensor networks, explainable AI in physics, computation of quantum entanglement, constrained lattice models and phase transitions, Rydberg atom arrays and long-range interactions, and 2D moiré quantum materials.
