Research Interest

Theory of cold atomic gases and quantum matters Our research on cold atom physics nearly covers all aspects of cold atom physics, mainly including: 1)Strongly interacting cold atomic gases: Few- and many-body problems nearby a Feshbach resonance, non-equilibrium problems. 2)Topological quantum matters: Spin-orbit coupling and synthetic gauge field in cold atom system, dynamicaland interaction effect in topological matters. 3)Quantum simulation with cold atoms in optical lattices: Bose and Fermi Hubbard model, quantum phase transition. The application of machine learning method in physics. Holographic Principle and Quantum Matters"
