Welcome undergraduate students Kathryn Evancho and Raymond Purdy
We’re excited to welcome two new undergraduate students, Kathryn Evancho and Raymond Purdy, to our group!
IXS 2022
Yao was invited to give a presentation about trRIXS in the 13th International Conference on Inelastic X-ray Scattering (IXS2022) at Oxford, UK.
Orbital excitation paper published in npj Quantum Mater.
Our collaborative paper (with Prof. Yingying Peng) is published in npj Quantum Materials! This work combined multiple RIXS experiments and simulations, demonstrating that the intercalated iron-selenide superconductor (Li,Fe)OHFeSe exhibits substantial orbital excitations, which may explain their relatively high superconductivity Tc.
Frontera user’s meeting
Yao was invited to give a presentation about electron-phonon coupling algorithms in the Frontera User’s Meeting at TACC.
Yao receives DOE early career award
Yao is selected as one of the 83 award recipients of the 2022 Early Career Award, by the Department of Energy! He is the first DOE Early Career Award recipient from the College of Science. The program “is designed to bolster the nation’s scientific workforce by providing support to exceptional researchers…

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.
