LAB

Laboratory for cold atoms and quantum optics

We are an experimental atomic physics group and trying to find a new state of quantum matter. By cooling down the atomic vapor to the nano-Kelvin regime, the ultra-cold atoms can display many-body quantum phenomena such as superconductivity and quantum magnetism. The system can tune various physical parameters like dimensions, impurity, and interaction strength in a wide range of parameter space. Moreover, a high-resolution imaging technique in optical lattices can address a many-body quantum state at a single atom level, simulating difficult many-body quantum problems in a wide range of physics from condensed matter physics, non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, quantum information science and even high energy physics. 

Research Interest

• Quantum simulations using ultracold atoms
• Non-equilibrium dynamics in closed quantum systems
• Topological phases of matter
