Modern condensed matter physics is to discover and realize novel physical properties, embracing three central themes - strong correlation, low dimen-sionality, and topology. Although these topics were traditionally regarded separate, it is recently being recognized that they are all intertwined in “quantum materials.”
So far, a majority of research has focused on "finding" quantum materials with novel properties. Herein, we take a rather unique approach to devise a new platform and realize exotic phenomena, manipulating spatio-temporal parameters. For example, combining different materials into ultrathin film heterostructures leads to unprecedented phenomena via quantum inter-ference between them, and harnessing nonlinear optics leads to modifi-cation of electronic structure of the quantum material. Employing this unique approach and leveraging our expertise, we aim to accomplish challenging yet feasible objectives:

The unconventional superconductivity team focus on realizing spin-triplet superconductivity in heterostructures of transition-metal oxides using pulsed-laser deposition (PLD) and angle-resolved photoemission spectro-scopy (ARPES).
The magnetic topology team leverages chalcogenide molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) systems to discover exotic topological phenomena in topological insulators under magnetic proximity effect.
The flat band surface team designs and fabricates artificial Kagome lattices utilizing surface-reconstructed alloys to investigate the properties of flat band systems via angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES).
The ultrafast phenomena team contributes to the construction of state-of-the-art fiber-laser-based light source to facilitate the studies on electron structure dynamics using time- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TARPES)
Our main experimental technique is angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES), which can directly measure the band structure.
