Condensed Matter Physics
Condensed matter physics is a branch of physical science that investigates the physical, electronic and magnetic properties of the various forms of solid and liquid matter. Materials investigated range from naturally occurring crystals to engineered micro- and nanostructures as well as more exotic condensed phases and exciting phenomena such as superconductivity and the quantum Hall effect. The condensed matter physics group at UC Merced has research programs in diverse areas, including
- strongly correlated systems and magneto-optical phenomena (Ghosh, Chiao, Tian, Chien and Scheibner),
- optical properties of nanostructures (Ghosh, Scheibner, Strubbe),
- quantum computing, quantum simulation, and quantum many-body effects with nanoscale devices (Tian, Chien),
- and theoretical and computational tools for condensed matter physics (Tian, Chien, Strubbe).
