Research Interests
Our lab studies quantum phenomena in small systems and novel materials. We developed a new class of ultra-clean and highly-controllable carbon-based quantum devices, which we use as a laboratory for studying the physics of electronic quantum matter, and as unique scanning probes for visualizing the physics of materials in ways that were previously inaccessible.
