Condensed Matter Theory, Statistical and Computational Physics

Condensed matter physics is a branch of physics which studies the properties of collections of particles using quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics and electromagnetism.

We are interested in studying novel states of matter at low temperatures when quantum mechanical effects play important roles. Using both numerical and analytical techniques, we study the properties of materials when electron-electron interactions are important. Many novel materials including topological insulators, Dirac semimetals, Weyl semimetals and two-dimensional materials have been predicted and studied by our faculty. We also study novel superconductors such as topological superconductors and other unconventional superconductors. For details, click on the links below for individual group webpages.
