Nonequilibrium NGSED published in Phys. Rev. X
Our paper about the nonequilibrium NGSED method is published in Physical Review X! This method introduced a new and efficient numerical approach to simulate strong electron-phonon coupled and strongly correlated systems out of equilibrium. The simulation results revealed that light-induced d-wave superconductivity out of melted charge-density wave state could be…

High-order correlation paper published in Science
Our collaborative paper with Max-Planck Institute for Quantumoptics is published in Science! This work discovers high-order correlations in doped Mott insulator, realized by cold-atom quantum simulators and verified by numerically unbiased many-body simulations.
Light-engineered magnetic excitation paper published at Commun. Phys.
Our theoretical paper on light-engineered magnetic excitations has been published in Communications Physics! In this work, we demonstrate the distinct nonequilibrium dynamics of magnons and paramagnons driven by ultrafast laser pulses, and propose a mechanism for stabilizing Floquet magnetic excitations in correlated quantum materials. We also systematically generalize the theory of…

Attractive interaction in cuprates published in Science
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. Check the press release in phys.org.

Bilayer Wigner crystal paper published at Nature
Our collaborative paper (with Prof. Hongkun Park and Prof. Eugene Demler) has been posted online at Nature! This work proposed and demonstrated an unambiguous route to identifying Wigner crystals in 2D materials, which is inherently guaranteed by the lattice commensurability and Löschian numbers theory.
Leadership resource allocation at TACC
We are selected as one of the 58 teams receiving the LRAC allocation award by the Texas Advanced Computing Center. This award will provide dedicated high-performance computing resources for scientific research. We are also one of the three selected condensed matter physics groups. See the news post at ClemsonNews.
