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