Research
- General
interests
- Selected Projects
- Exotic superfluidity: breached pairing [News: check out
the Phys.
Rev. Focus story
about the state of matter we proposed/predicted]
- quasi-1D spin imbalanced Fermi gases: FFLO,
thermodynamic Bethe ansatz, spin-charge mixing, novel two-component
Luttinger liquid model due to spin polarization.
- p-orbital lattice gases:
emergent orbital symmetries, exotic px+ipy BEC at finite momentum,
antiferro-orbit Mott insulators, time-symmetry breaking, topological
semimetal, etc. and possible relevance to ultracold atomic gases [Nature Physics News and Views, Nature Physics letter, Pitt News, Maryland/NIST JQI press release]
