Research Interest
Yunqin Zheng works on a range of topics in quantum field theories and condensed matter theories. His recent research focuses on generalized symmetries and anomalies in field theories and lattice models in diverse dimensions. These symmetries lead to various new insights on renormalization group flows, and provide new organization principles local operators, defects, interfaces, as well as quantum phases of matters and their phase transitions.

Research Interests
I have been studying non-equilibrium physics and quantum gravity in terms of quantum entanglement:
We have proposed how to construct geometry in gravity dual of entanglement structure.
We have been studying the relation between Einstein eq. and constraint for entanglement entropy.
We have been studying thermal properties of entanglement entropy.
We have been studying how scrambling effect affects structure of entanglement.
Currently, I am strongly interested in properties of theories with strong scrambling effect in low energy limit. Also, I am strongly interested in the physics beyond AdS/CFT correspondence.

Research Interests
I am a theoretical physicist working on aspects of quantum field theory and gravity that help reveal the mystery of the quantum theory of gravity. Some of the subjects that I have studied include
Apart from the above topics, I am also interested in exciting developments in other related fields such as the quantum information/quantum gravity program, the nonperturbative bootstrap program, black holes and compact objects (from both the high energy physics and the astrophysics points of view), and curious connections between high energy physics and condensed matter physics.
