Research

Understanding the intriguing properties of quantum materials has long been the frontier of condensed matter physics. Driven by the emergent properties of quantum materials and their application potential, we are devoted in exploring the electronic structures of quantum materials, including topological quantum materials (TQMs), strongly correlated electronic materials, low-dimensional quantum materials, and unconventional superconductivity, using advanced photoemission spectroscopy.

We plan to recruit highly-motivated undergraduates, PhD students and postdocs every year. Please contact Prof. Yang (lxyang@tsinghua.edu.cn) for details.
