Dr. Xi Chen, as a Ph.D student in Shanghai University since 2001, began with the earliest study on mesoscopic transport from 2001. Awarded with a Juan de la Cierva fellowship, he entered the QuInST group of Prof. J. Gonzalo Muga at UPV-EHU, Spain. He concentrated first on a new cooling method based on harmonic trap expansions and on state preparation of two or three level atoms. During his stay at Bilbao, he was extremely successful. He has developed the emerging field of shortcuts to adiabaticity. Several results have been implemented experimentally in the group of G. Labeyrie, O. Morsch, D. Suter and also are extended to other fields. He has already published 1 Nature Communications and 6 Physical Review Letters. Dr. Xi Chen has expertise in quantum optics and quantum control.
He came full professor and led a group in Shanghai since 2013. Recently, he has been awarded with Ramon y Cajal fellowship, working in QUTIS of UPV/EHU, Spain since 2019. His research so far is multidisciplinary and covers different aspects in physics, such as mesoscopic physics, quantum control, quantum optics, atom physics and quantum computing. He has published >130 papers in international collaborations with researchers from a variety of countries: US, Germany, Spain, France, China. He is the principal investigator of European project, EPIQUS. He is selected as Editor Board for Scientific Report.
