The condensed matter physics is considered one of the most versatile subfields of physics, embracing big ideas from particle physics, cosmology, and quantum information. Recently, the concept of topology has brought up a new era in condensed matter research that integrates a diverse spectrum of fields and topics, bridging basic science with technological innovations. Thus, it is critical to push beyond the traditional disciplines to establish new conceptual framework and to target at the significant problems. Our research activities focus on designing and synthesizing new materials with emergent quantum properties that have never been seen before, then exploring the physics and functionalities of such properties with our world-leading measurement facilities. Our goal is to lead the innovative quest for new quantum materials that bear a far-reaching impact not only on basic science but also on our everyday life in the future.
