Project description
Strongly correlated quantum systems under study
Strong correlation is a fascinating phenomenon in physics, spanning scales from planets to electrons. Researchers have long sought to understand these phenomena, including equilibrium and nonequilibrium correlated states. 2D moiré superlattices provide an excellent platform to study localised nonequilibrium correlations using ultrafast laser excitation and high-resolution spectroscopic detection. This could help unravel unconventional dynamics in strongly correlated quantum systems, which hold promise for quantum computing and energy transmission. Funded by the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the ALTOS project is an interdisciplinary training network in photonics covering component design, theoretical analysis, and experiments. Including training in intellectual property, funding, commercialisation, business management, and teaching, the network aims to maximise the impact of research in strongly correlated quantum systems.
Objective
As one of the most fascinating phenomena in physics, strong correlation exists across a wide range of scales from planet to electron. Researchers have been pursuing a thorough understanding of strong-correlation phenomena for decades. In addition to the equilibrium correlated states detected by electric methods, nonequilibrium correlated dynamics that reveals more fingerprints of many-body interaction at a transient timescale is also significant. The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) moiré superlattices provides an excellent platform to probe localized nonequilibrium correlation phenomena by ultrafast laser excitation and spectroscopic detection with high resolution in both space and time. The combination of large moiré lattices in space and femtosecond-scale resolution in time will offer us a powerful tool to unravel the signature of unconventional dynamics of strong-correlated states, which not only deepens our understanding of complex quantum systems but also holds promise for the development of advanced technologies with transformative applications in fields like quantum computing and energy transmission. This interdisciplinary training scheme aims to enhance Dr. Shang’s expertise in photonics, strengthening his skills and helping him establish a research career in Europe. The program covers component design and implementation, theoretical analysis and photonics experiments. To assist Shang in reaching professional maturity and increase his exposure to academic and industrial collaborations, he will receive training on intellectual property management, funding and proposal writing, commercialization, business and finance management, supervision, and teaching. Additionally, Shang will have the opportunity to establish cooperation with Prof. Abajo (ICFO, Spain) as part of an academic secondment. This will maximize his learning experience, expand his network in Europe, and maximize the impact of research and training on EU society and industry.
