Research Program

We apply quantum microscopy techniques to explore quantum phases of matter.

Electronic interactions, spin correlations and geometric phases of electronic wavefunctions at microscopic length scales give rise to the fascinating properties of quantum materials, examples of which encompass superconductivity in moiré superlattices, Majorana zero modes (MZM) in topological hybrid structures as well as quantum spin liquid behavior and topological order in frustrated magnetic materials. We apply advanced imaging techniques with a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) to explore these materials at atomic length scales and to connect these microscopic phenomena with the global material properties.

We build quantum microscopy techniques to explore quantum phases of matter.

We are convinced that great discoveries are always enabled by technological advancements and state of the art instrumentation. In the context of the research in our group, these advancements include the implementation of novel measurement methodologies in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), as well as the development of new quantum sensing microscopies.
