I am Jiayue Yang, a PhD student in Applied Mathematics at the University of Waterloo, Canada, and an Associate Graduate Student at both the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics (PI) and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC). My research focuses on the intersection of quantum information and quantum gravity.
My research covers a broad range of topics, including black hole thermodynamics, holographic quantum information, relativistic quantum information, wormhole solutions, and analogue black holes.
Ming Zhang, Wen-Di Tan, Mengqi Lu, Dyuman Bhattacharya, Yang, J., et al. arXiv (2025). arXiv: 2507.01010 [hep-th] [pdf]
Develops a framework for holographic thermodynamics in finite-cutoff holography, coupling a finite radial cutoff in AdS to a boundary T^2-deformed CFT and formulating consistent first laws/energetics.
