Research Interests Theoretical condensed matter physics, including Density-Matrix Renormalization Group method, mechanism of high-temperature superconductors, quantum phase transition and topological quantum computation.
Research Experience 1. Momentum Space DMRG method, Transfer-Matrix Renormalization Group method, and Density-Matrix Renormalization Group method for time-dependent problems. 2. interlayer dynamics of high-temperature superconductors, prediction of universal behaviours of a series of physical quantities including c-axis conductivities, penetration depths, microwave conductivities. 3. two-band theory of electron-doped cuprates. 4. Majorana fermion representation for Kitaev model and string-order parameter characterization of topological phase transation. .
Students 4 PhDs and 3 Masters graduated. 3 PhD students, 2 Master students at study.
