Quantum Condensed Matter Lab

The lab observes the electrons in quantum materials at atomic resolution.
AboutAbout the lab
Seeing electrons with an atomic-scale eye.
The Quantum Condensed Matter Lab studies quantum materials, including strongly correlated electron systems.
In quantum materials, interactions between electrons and spin–orbit coupling become intricately entangled, giving rise to exotic states such as high-temperature superconductivity and quantum spin liquids.
Using scanning tunneling microscopy, the lab aims to make electronic states directly visible at atomic resolution and to clarify their origin.
The lab renewed its members and started under a new structure in the 2025 academic year.
Key terms
- Scanning tunneling microscope
- A microscope that brings a sharp tip close to a surface and measures the current that flows, in order to observe the arrangement of atoms and the state of electrons.
- Strongly correlated electron system
- A material in which interactions such as repulsion between electrons are strong, giving rise to properties different from those of ordinary metals.
- Quantum spin liquid
- A state in which spins do not align in one direction even at low temperatures and remain quantum-mechanically fluctuating.
