Overview of Academic Research
Systematic Research in Quantum Simulation with Ultracold Atoms
We conducted systematic research in the field of quantum simulation based on ultracold atoms, focusing on key challenges such as the preparation of novel quantum states, quantum state manipulation, and interaction control.
Major achievements include:
First proposal and realization of 2D spin-orbit coupling in an ultracold Fermi gas, enabling precise control of topological band gaps.
Discovery of spin-orbit-coupling-induced Feshbach molecules, providing a new pathway toward realizing p-wave superfluidity in ultracold atomic gases.
Development of advanced techniques for tuning atomic interactions using combined magnetic and optical fields, as well as momentum-resolved radio-frequency spectroscopy for quantum state characterization. These methods allow for spatially resolved and ultrafast (time-scale) control of atomic interactions. These findings have been published in leading journals, including Nature Physics, Physical Review Letters, and Physical Review A.
Research Directions/Fields:
