Research Interests

 
  • Quantum manybody simulations on strongly interacting electronic solids
  • Novel local pairing superconductivity -- spin-triplet pairing
  • Algorithm development of quantum transport simulation
  • Magnetic patterns in nanostructures
  • Spin transport in metals and semiconductors

  Condensed matter physics is an extremely diverse field, which covers from nanoscale particles of few atoms to a new thermodynamic order of infitely many electrons in solid. We use computational tools to uncover new physical orders in materials.
