I am a condensed matter theorist. I am interested in studying emergent phenomena in quantum many-body systems with strong correlation. Surprisingly, strongly correlated electrons in various experimental systems can sometimes (for example, fractional quantum Hall effect) be understood from collective degrees of freedom which are fundamentally different from electronic degrees of freedom. I am also interested in frustrated magnets where such fascinating physics may be realized.
My research topics include: topological order in strongly correlated systems; tensor network representation and numerical simulation; exotic quantum phase transitions.
