Welcome master student Rajat Mittal

We’re excited to welcome a new student, Rajat Mittal, to the group! Rajat is currently a master student in the Computer Engineering department at Clemson.

Light-controlled Coulomb paper published in Phys. Rev. X

Our collaborative paper with Prof. Mitrano at Harvard University is published in Physical Review X! This work demonstrates the light control of on-site Coulomb interaction in cuprates, using a combination of time-resolved x-ray experiments and exact diagonalization simulations.

Welcome postdoc Wei-Chih Chen

We’re excited to welcome our new postdoc Wei-Chih Chen to the group! Wei-Chih recently obtained his Ph.D. degree from University of Alabama at Birmingham.

Seminar at Yale

Yao presented an invited seminar talk at the Solid State & Optics Seminar of Yale University, about cooperation of phonons and correlations in cuprates.

MRS Fall Meeting 2021

Yao presents an invited talk at the MRS Fall Meeting 2021 about time-resolved x-ray scattering and control of quantum materials.

Nonequilibrium NGSED published in Phys. Rev. X

Our paper about the nonequilibrium NGSED method is published in Physical Review X! This method extended the simulation of strong electron-phonon coupled and strongly correlated systems out of equilibrium, revealing the fluctuating nature of light-induced d-wave superconductivity.
