Overview of Academic Research
Carried out systematic research in the fields of quantum computing and quantum simulation, with a focus on breaking through core challenges such as the large-scale adjustment of interactions and the difficult integration of precise control of model parameters like lattices and optical tweezers. The following important achievements were made:
(1)Under low magnetic field conditions, a wide range of continuous tunable atomic interactions (-2000a0 to +1800a0) were achieved, establishing a path for the preparation of magnetic field-enhanced optical coupling ultracold molecules, with a yield increase by two orders of magnitude. New spectral data of 59 groups of molecular long-range states were discovered; (2) domestically, the first successful preparation of ultracold cesium atomic BEC (temperature ~ 10nK) was achieved, and a system Hamiltonian controllable two-dimensional lattice was constructed. The handedness of the atomic flow in the artificial magnetic field was observed, and zero interaction atomic flow regulation was realized; (3) the problem of independent regulation of disorder and interaction was solved. Experimental observations of localized and extended states induced by interaction in one-dimensional systems were made, which were advanced from three dimensions to low dimensions. The famous Feynman-Tan relationship was verified through Bragg higher-order spectroscopy; (4) for the first time, a geometric frustrated momentum lattice was synthesized in an ultracold atomic Bose quantum gas with precisely controllable interactions. An artificial gauge field was generated by controlling the tunneling phase between lattice points, and the competitive mechanism among atomic interactions, gauge fields, and geometric frustration was revealed. The related results were published in journals such as Nature Physics, Nature Communications, Light, and PRL.
