Research Description
Sufei Shi develops new platforms for quantum simulation using exciton arrays in two-dimensional semiconductors. His research focuses on designing ordered patterns of interacting excitons — bound electron-hole pairs — to model complex many-body quantum phenomena. By combining advanced nanofabrication with moiré engineering in atomically thin materials, Shi’s team precisely tunes exciton behavior through electric fields, doping, and strain. This approach bridges condensed matter and atomic physics, with the potential to enable scalable and flexible simulations of quantum systems that are beyond the reach of classical computation.
Research Impact
Professor Shi’s research aims to establish a flexible and scalable platform for quantum simulation, enabling deeper exploration of complex quantum systems that underlie technologies such as superconductors and quantum computers. By advancing control over exciton interactions in two-dimensional materials, his work could contribute to our understanding of many-body quantum physics and lay the foundation for future innovations in quantum-enabled devices and architectures.
