CONDENSED MATTER · QUANTUM SCIENCE
Dr. Hao Sun
Think rigorously, innovate boldly, and learn continuously.
I study generalized anomalous transport in quantum materials, with a focus on orbital physics, moiré systems, and quantum spins. Another central focus of my work is the translation and commercialization of quantum technologies.

Current directions
CORE DIRECTION
Anomalous Transport
\( \displaystyle \dot{\mathbf r}=\frac{1}{\hbar}\nabla_{\mathbf k}\varepsilon_n(\mathbf k)-\dot{\mathbf k}\times\mathbf\Omega_n(\mathbf k) \)
CORE DIRECTION
Moiré Quantum Materials
\( \displaystyle \frac{n}{n_0}=t\,\frac{\Phi}{\Phi_0}+s \)
CONNECTING THEME
Quantum Geometry
\( \displaystyle Q_{ij}=g_{ij}-\frac{i}{2}\Omega_{ij},\; g_{ij}=\operatorname{Re}Q_{ij},\; \Omega_{ij}=-2\operatorname{Im}Q_{ij} \)
EMERGING DIRECTION
Rydberg Blockade Model
\( \displaystyle H=\sum_i\!\left(\frac{\Omega_i}{2}\sigma_i^x-\Delta_i n_i\right)+\sum_{i<j}\frac{C_6}{R_{ij}^6}\,n_i n_j \)
