Robert Laughlin
Anne T. and Robert M. Bass Professor in the School of Humanities and Sciences
BioProfessor Laughlin is a theorist with interests ranging from hard-core engineering to cosmology. He is an expert in semiconductors (Nobel Prize 1998) and has also worked on plasma and nuclear physics issues related to fusion and nuclear-pumped X-ray lasers. His technical work at the moment focuses on “correlated-electron” phenomenology – working backward from experimental properties of materials to infer the presence (or not) of new kinds of quantum self-organization. He recently proposed that all Mott insulators – including the notorious doped ones that exhibit high-temperature superconductivity – are plagued by a new kind of subsidiary order called “orbital antiferromagnetism” that is difficult to detect directly. He is also the author of A Different Universe, a lay-accessible book explaining emergent law.

Benjamin Lev
Professor of Applied Physics and of Physics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsLevLab is a joint AMO & CM experimental group that explores the question: Can new classes of states and phases of quantum matter be created far away from equilibrium, and if so, what do we learn? We use our new technique, confocal cavity QED, to both engineer out-of-equilibrium quantum gases and 2D materials and to image and control their new properties.

Qitong Li
Postdoctoral Scholar, Applied Physics
BioI am an experimental and applied physicist, focusing on extreme light-matter interaction at the nanoscale. I am currently working with Prof. Tony F. Heinz as a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Applied Physics at Stanford University. Before my current position, I obtained my Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Stanford University in 2022 under the guidance of Prof. Mark L. Brongersma and my B.Sc. in Physics from Peking University in 2016.
My research concentrates on developing platforms with state-of-the-art tailored (optically resonant) nanostructures to achieve improved control over the photon-electron interaction at the nanoscale. This immediately allows us to create novel photonic and optoelectronic device concepts by coupling free-space lights into a series of well-engineered quantized optical modes and co-engineering electronic and optical components together. We therefore foresee a system-level revolution in industry enabled by nanotechnology. On the other hand, by providing a non-trivial and tunable optical, electrical, and mechanical nano-environment, this platform also fundamentally functions as a versatile tool and offers a new degree of freedom to better probe, study, and control various quantum properties and excitations in solids, especially those enhanced ones in low-dimensional materials. This will ultimately lead us to have a clearer understanding of unconventional phenomena in quantum materials and start to utilize them in a more controllable way.
