Overview of Academic Research
Prof. Yang’s research interest is the systematic study on quantum physics, quantum computation, quantum simulation and quantum precision measurement, mainly focusing on quantum foundation, its related novel physics and physical implementation, as well as on difficulties in quantum control.
His major achievements (cooperating with team members) include:
*Observation of spontaneouly symmentry-breaking phenomena of quantum many-body system
* Observation of third-order exceptional quantum topology effect in a non-Hermitioan three-mode system
* Observation of entanglement phase transition at exceptional points in non-Hermitian compound systems
* Observation of a superradiant phase transition with emergent cat states
* Experimental demonstration of entanglement-interference complementarity
* Experimental quantum simulation of a Dirac particle by revealing its inherent quantum interference and entanglement
* Demonstration of a non-Abelian geometric controlled-NOT gate
* Experimental demonstration of universal quantum cloning machine
* Demonstration of deterministic entanglement swapping as well as of its delay choice
