Research
- General interests
- Selected Projects
- Orbital optical lattice:
- dynamical topological phases: Anomalous
Floquet higher-order topological phases (PRL
2020a, PRL
2020b),
- topological Bose superfluids: PRL(2020c)
- time crystal and
realization: Phys.
Rev. Lett. (2018).

breached pairing [News: Phys.
Rev.
Focus story], Weyl fermions
- quasi-1D spin imbalanced
Fermi gases: FFLO, thermodynamic
Bethe ansatz, spin-charge mixing, novel
two-component Luttinger liquid model due to
spin polarization.
- p-orbital lattice gases:
emergent orbital symmetries, exotic px+ipy BEC
at finite momentum, antiferro-orbit Mott
insulators, time-symmetry breaking,
topological semimetal, chiral p-wave, etc. and
possible relevance to ultracold atomic gases [Nature
