Fundamental Condensed Matter Science is a branch of fundamental physics concerning nature at the small length scales of atoms and subatomic particles, including the properties of atomic and molecular, condensed matter (materials), nuclei and elementary particles. Understanding these collective behaviors and application of the nature of matter is the key toward the next generation of technology that defines human civilization.
Our division of TDLI intend to build world-class research teams on the following area:
1. Exploration of new states of matter:
Out-of-equilibrium, open systems, for example, time crystal
Light-matter coupled systems, cold molecules
States with non-trivial topology and symmetry
2. Understanding and improved control of emergent phenomena in many-body systems
Quasi-particles of fractional statistics, anyons
Non-abelian operation and long-rage entanglement
Description of doped Mott insulators, bad metals, and other non-Fermi liquid behaviors
Unconventional high-temperature superconductivity
3. New experimental, computational, and theoretical capabilities
