2024

eQMA Workshop

Yao gave a talk about entanglement witness at the eQMA Workshop on Quantum Materials and Entanglement held by the Rice University

DOE SCGSR Fellowship

Jordyn gets the DOE SCGSR fellowship! Congrats!

1D spin excitation paper published in Phys. Rev. Research

Our paper about spin excitation fingerprints for attractive interactions in 1D cuprates has been published in Phys. Rev. Research! Congrats to Zecheng and Jiarui. This work provides a major approach to identify and quantify the phonon-mediated attractive interactions in cuprates.

Overdoped CDW paper published in Phys. Rev. B

Our paper about phonon driven charge order in overdoped cuprates has been published in Phys. Rev. B! Congrats to Jiarui and Shaozhi. It is the first paper led by Jiarui, which successfully explained the origin of the recently observed charge order in extremely overdoped LSCO.

IXS 2024

Chendi represented our group and presented a poster about our recent entanglement results in the 13th International Conference on Inelastic X-ray Scattering (IXS2024) at Arcrea, Japan.

Welcome undergraduate student Yea Eun Chung

We’re excited to welcome a new undergraduate student, Yea Eun Chung, to our group!

Frontera user’s meeting

Chendi represented our group and presented our recent work about light-induced room-temperature superconductivity, in the Frontera User's Meeting at TACC.

XI Ultrafast Dynamics Symposium

Yao was invited again this year to speak at the the 11th International Symposium on Ultrafast Dynamics and Ultrafast Bandgap Photonics held at Hersonissos, Greece, delivering the presentation about spin and electronic entanglement

SIAM Conference on Materials Science

Yao was invited to the 2024 SIAM Conference on Materials Science and gave a presentation about ultrafast dynamics and entanglement

Welcome undergraduate student Luting Wang

We’re excited to welcome a new undergraduate student, Luting Wang, to our group! Luting is a rising senior student at GaTech.

Seminar at PSU

Yao gave an invited seminar talk at the Penn State CAMP Seminar.

DOE PI Meeting 2024

Yao attended the DOE TCMP program PI meeting and gave a highlight presentation

APS March Meeting 2024

Yao co-organized focused sessions about nonequilibrium dynamics. Jordyn and Haoran presented in the APS March Meeting.

2023

Welcome winter intern student Kai Zhou

We’re excited to welcome our new winter intern student, Kai Zhou!

MRS Fall Meeting 2023

Yao and co-organizers (Mingda, Valentina, and Amélie) hosted a symposium about Space, Energy and Time-Resolved Spectroscopies for Emergent Quantum Materials at the MRS 2023 Fall Meeting. This symposium, with 10 sessions and lasting for 3 days, was very successful. Yao also presented recent work about entanglement probe in the conference.

Strained nickelate paper published in Commun. Phys.

Our paper about strain-enhanced superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates has been published in Communications Physics! Congrats to Wei-Chih and Jordyn. It is a great experiment-theory collaboration with Prof. Zhihai Zhu and Prof. Xingjiang Zhou.

Two TNS papers published

Our two Ta2NiSe5 papers have been published in Physical Review Research and Nature Communications! Congrats to Shuhan! It is a great experiment-theory collaboration with Prof. Yu He.

Seminar at Rice

Yao presented an invited talk at the RCQM Seminar of Rice University about entanglement probe in quantum materials

Welcome postdoc Logan Xu

We’re excited to welcome our new postdoc Logan Xu to the group!
