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.
Yao presents an invited talk at the MRS Fall Meeting 2021 about time-resolved x-ray scattering and control of quantum materials.
Our collaborative paper with Stanford University and SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory is published in Science! This work reveals the presence of an unexpected attractive near-neighbor interaction in cuprates, beyond the well-known strong repulsive Hubbard interaction, shedding new light on the microscopic mechanisms in high-temperature superconductors.

We establish our group in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Clemson University.
