Description of Research Group: We are interested in the theoretical study of quantum simulation in cold atomic gases and other related physical systems. As a practical alternative to the universal quantum computers, a quantum simulator is a highly controllable device that can be used to investigate the properties of another more complicated quantum system whose characterization is beyond the capability of classical computers.

Featuring a clean environment and highly tunable parameters, an ultracold atomic gas is an ideal platform for quantum simulation. Since the realization of Bose-Einstein condensates in ultracold atoms in 1995, the investigation of ultracold atomic gases has developed into one of the most active fields in physics, thanks to powerful tools such as the Feshbach resonance, the optical lattice potential, and synthetic gauge fields.
