摘要:
The phase structure of QCD at finite baryon chemical potential remains one of the most elusive problems in strongly coupled gauge theory. Low-temperature, high-density regimes are expected to host a hierarchy of order parameters such as quark bilinears, diquark pairings, and multi-quark condensates, but the lattice sign problem and the breakdown of perturbation theory obscure first-principles access to the resulting phase diagram. Effective field theories illuminate individual phases but cannot adjudicate the competition between them.
We address this question using gauge/gravity duality as a controlled nonperturbative laboratory. Building on the universal structure of holographic superconductor backgrounds, we study a five-dimensional bulk model with two charged scalars dual to operators carrying different baryon charges and scaling dimensions. Each scalar wants to condense at a finite chemical potential, and the question is what happens when they both can: does one win, or do they coexist?
Scanning the space of operator charges and dimensions and working in both confined and deconfined phases, we map the full phase diagram in the temperature and chemical potential plane. Coexistence appears in a finite region of parameter space. Elsewhere, one condensate generically suppresses the others. This suggests that the coexistence of multiple order parameters is rare and governed by simple selection rules on operator data, constraining symmetry-breaking patterns across a wide class of holographic systems with several charged sectors well beyond the QCD setting that motivated us.

摘要:
The quantum age is nearly upon us, and it promises to transform the way we process, communicate and protect information. But what will this transformation mean for security? Will quantum technologies bring the end of privacy as we know it, or can they offer new ways to defend it? Remarkably, recent advances in quantum cryptography point to the latter. They show that secure communication can remain possible even against adversaries equipped with superior technological powers. More strikingly still, they suggest that security can be guaranteed even when the very devices used for protection cannot be fully trusted. This lecture will explore how emerging quantum technologies are reshaping our understanding of information security, from the threats posed by quantum computers to the new forms of protection made possible by quantum physics itself.

摘要:
The discovery of the post-perovskite transition in MgSiO₃ provided a compelling explanation for the D'' seismic discontinuity at the base of Earth's mantle. However, subsequent studies showed that iron and aluminum broaden the bridgmanite–post-perovskite transition over too large a pressure interval for it to generate the observed sharp seismic reflector, creating a long-standing paradox.
In this talk, I will show how this paradox is resolved when the transition is treated as part of the complete pyrolitic assemblage rather than as an isolated silicate phase transformation. First-principles thermodynamic calculations combined with phase-equilibrium modeling demonstrate that the Fe²⁺ spin crossover in ferropericlase redistributes iron away from bridgmanite, substantially sharpening the onset of post-perovskite. The coupled evolution of phase proportions, Fe-Mg partitioning, and spin state creates a narrow reaction-relaxed coexistence region with an anomalously soft bulk modulus. These results provide a new thermodynamic framework for reassessing the geophysical manifestations of the post-perovskite transition in the deep mantle.

摘要:
Do you ever wonder about the quantum-electrodynamics side of strong-field laser physics? Strong laser–matter interactions have been a central topic since high-power lasers emerged about half a century ago. They underpin foundational work in atomic, molecular, and optical physics and have helped shape areas such as attosecond science, nonlinear optics, and ultrafast optoelectronics. Although many results can be described using classical electromagnetic fields, recent fully quantized approaches suggest new directions worth exploring. This seminar surveys efforts to treat intense laser–atom interactions within a fully quantized framework. We discuss how such methods can enable the generation of controllable, high-photon-number entangled coherent states and coherent-state superpositions—capabilities that are difficult to capture within semiclassical theories. We then apply the formalism to processes including high-harmonic generation and above-threshold ionization, highlighting features that do not appear in purely classical descriptions. Finally, we consider how these ideas might extend to more complex materials and what they could mean for emerging quantum technologies, especially at the intersection of attosecond physics and quantum information science.

摘要:
We perform a fluctuation analysis of the pairing interaction in the hole-doped Hubbard model within the dynamical cluster approximation. Our analysis reveals that spin-fluctuation-mediated pairing differs qualitatively in the over- and underdoped regimes. In the underdoped regime, we show that the spin-fermion coupling exhibits a pronounced node–antinode dichotomy and mediates a strong attractive interaction between antinodal fermions. This explains why superconductivity persists at underdoping in the Hubbard model and cuprate materials, despite the lack of coherent quasiparticle excitations in the pseudogap regime.

摘要:
Chirality is more than a molecular label: it can emerge through symmetry breaking, be stabilized by collective organization, and govern material properties across multiple length scales. In this talk, I will present my efforts to understand and harness chirality in nanostructured materials and perovskite optoelectronics. I will first introduce our studies of spontaneously chiral nanoparticles, in which achiral building blocks evolve into chiral assemblies through emergent symmetry breaking. These systems provide a platform for investigating how chiral states are generated, selected, and locked in, and how nanoscale chirality can be translated into optical and functional responses. Building on this foundation, I will then discuss enantiomeric packing at perovskite heterointerfaces. Rather than treating enantiomers as interchangeable mirror images, we explore how homochiral and heterochiral configurations give rise to distinct packing motifs, intermolecular cohesion, and interfacial energy landscapes. Such differences can influence molecular ordering, interfacial mechanics, and degradation pathways in perovskite-based devices. These studies suggest that chirality is not merely an additional molecular functionality, but a versatile design parameter for controlling symmetry breaking, molecular packing, interfacial mechanics, and degradation kinetics in functional materials. I will conclude by discussing how this enantiomeric perspective may open broader opportunities for the design of robust materials and optoelectronic technologies.

摘要:
二维量子材料因其维度受限、界面主导和强关联效应，常呈现出丰富而脆弱的量子态，如铁电、铁磁、拓扑相、相变态及非晶有序结构等。这些量子态往往对外界环境和表征条件高度敏感：一方面，许多低维材料具有显著的水氧敏感性，暴露于空气中即可能发生氧化、水解、结构重构或本征相破坏；另一方面，其弱键合、低维结构和亚稳量子态又使其量子态失效，同时极易在高能电子束辐照下产生缺陷、相变、无序化甚至结构坍塌。因此，如何在最大限度保持材料本征结构和量子态的前提下，实现原子尺度成像、结构解析及外场调控过程的动态表征，是二维量子材料透射电镜研究中的核心难题。本报告将介绍我们课题组围绕低维量子材料与敏感功能材料发展的一系列极限条件透射电镜表征技术。通过结合冷冻电镜、氛围保护球差校正电镜以及基于 MEMS 芯片的原位透射电镜方法，我们建立了面向水氧敏感、电子束敏感及外场响应体系的低损伤、原位化和动态化表征策略。相关研究实例包括水氧敏感全有机晶体、有机-无机复合钙钛矿的晶格结构解析，单层非晶碳、非共线铁电、二维铁磁等易劣化体系的无损定量原子尺度构效关系研究，以及 MoTe₂ 等可逆相变材料在电流/电压诱导下动态相变过程的精确测定。

摘要:
Topological superconductivity can host Majorana zero modes at the defects or boundaries of the system. These zero modes are Ising anyons that obey the exotic non-Abelian exchange statistics and can be used to implement error-resilient topological quantum computing. In recent years, quantum-dot-superconductor array has emerged as a new and promising platform for realizing topological Kitaev chains and Majorana zero modes. In this talk, I will talk about our theoretical proposals for how to create a highly tunable Kitaev chain and find Majoranas in double quantum dots, and also proposals for scaling up the system. Our emphasis will be on the crucial role of Andreev bound states acting as a coupler. In parallel, I will also review the recent progress in Kitaev chain experiment. If time permits, I will discuss the possible new directions in this field.
