Xie Chen

Xie Chen (Chinese: 陈 谐 ; pinyin: Chén Xié) is a


Chinese physicist and a professor of theoretical physics Xie Chen
at the California Institute of Technology.[1] Her work 陈谐
covers both the field of condensed matter physics and Alma mater Tsinghua University
quantum information, with a focus on many-body Massachusetts Institute of
quantum mechanical systems with unconventional Technology
emergent phenomena.[2] She won the 2020 New Awards New Horizons in Physics
Horizons in Physics Prize for "incisive contributions to Prize (2020)
the understanding of topological states of matter and
Scientific career
the relationships between them"[3]
Fields Condensed matter theory
Quantum information

Early life and education Institutions University of California,


Berkeley
Chen received her bachelor's degree in physics from California Institute of
Tsinghua University in 2006 and her Ph.D. in Technology
theoretical physics from Massachusetts Institute of Doctoral Issac Chuang
Technology in 2012 under the supervision of Isaac advisor Xiao-Gang Wen
Chuang and Xiao-Gang Wen.[4] From 2012–2014,
Chen was a Miller Research Fellow in University of California, Berkeley. In 2014, she joined California
Institute of Technology as an assistant professor and in 2017 she was promoted to associate professor.

Research
Chen's research centers on novel phases and phase transitions in quantum condensed matter systems. Her
major research topics include topological order in strongly correlated systems, dynamics in many-body
systems, tensor network representation, and quantum information application.
