Overview of Academic Research
Assoc. Prof. Liangchao Chen’s research focuses on experimental studies of ultracold atomic gases and quantum simulation. He has constructed superradiance lattice in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) and therein realized quantum control of matter states and dynamics. Additionally, he has synthesized molecular BECs from atomic BECs via Feshbach resonance.
his major achievements include:
*Constructed superradiance lattice in experiments:
Detected and tuned the band structure of the optical lattice; achieved the chiral transportation of atomic excitation in superradiance lattice by introducing an artificial magnetic field; observed the coherent conversion between superradiance and subradiance states.
*molecular BECs with non-zero angular momentum:
Synthesized molecular BECs from two-dimensional atomic BECs by using Feshbach resonance, providing a good foundation for the studies of molecular BECs and ultracold chemistry.
The related achievements were published in journals such as PRL, Nature, and npj Quantum Information.
Research Directions/Fields:
1. Quantum simulation with ultracold atomic gases
2. Manipulation of quantum matter states and dynamics
