XIII Ultrafast Dynamics Symposium
Yao was invited again this year to speak at the the 13th International Symposium on Ultrafast Dynamics and Ultrafast Bandgap Photonics held at Hersonissos, Greece, delivering the presentation about light control of entanglement and spin-triplet superconductivity
Symmetry-protected metastability published in Nat. Mater.
Our collaborative paper (with Prof. Mitrano) about orbital-symmetry protected metastable state, has been published in Nature Materials! Congrats to Zecheng and Logan, who led the theory and simulations. This work revealed that orbital symmetry has intrinsic protection for electronic metastability, which can be triggered off instantaneously by laser pulses, leading…

Jordyn’s Ph.D. graduation
Congratulations to Jordyn Hales, the first Ph.D. graduate from our group! Jordyn led several innovative projects in X-ray theory and time-resolved RIXS, with a notable contribution to the identification of light-induced entanglement. Jordyn was also awarded the prestigious DOE SCGSR Fellowship, closely collaborating with leading X-ray experimentalists.

APS Global Physics Summit 2025
Our entire group participated in the APS Global Physics Summit in Anaheim. Haoran, Zecheng, Chendi, Prakash, Tongtong, and Luogen presented their papers.
Electron-doped cuprate paper published in Nature Communications
Our collaborative paper about hole pocket superconductivity in electron-doped cuprates has been published in Nature Communications! Congrats to Zecheng, who carried out all theoretical simulations. This work revealed the coexisting large and small Fermi surface in electron-doped cuprates and the correlation between superconductivity and the hole-pocket.
Electronic entanglement witness paper published in Phys. Rev. X
Our paper about electronic entanglement witness has been published in Phys. Rev. X! Congrats to Tongtong, Luogen, and Jiarui. This work establishes a theoretical framework for characterizing multipartite entanglement in indistinguishable many-electron systems. It also provides an x-ray-based strategy to witness electronic entanglement in quantum materials.
Ultrafast dynamics in Kitaev material published in npj Quantum Matter
Our collaborative paper about ultrafast dynamics in candidate Kitaev material has been published in npj Quantum Materials! Using trREXS experiments and simulations, we successfully revealed an extremely small spin gap beyond spectral resolution, only reflected in time domain.
Fock-state DQMC paper published in Commun. Phys.
Our paper about Fock-state quantum Monte Carlo has been published in Commun. Phys! Congrats to Shuhan and Shaozhi. This work establishes a new strategy for sampling electronic Fock states using QMC, relevant for analog quantum simulations.
Farewell to Logan
Our postdoc Logan Xu joins to Ernst & Young Global Limited as a risk quant. Congrats to Logan!
