Davis Group research concentrates upon the fundamental physics of exotic states of electronic, magnetic and atomic quantum matter. A specialty is development of innovative instrumentation to allow direct atomic-scale visualization or perception of the quantum many-body phenomena that are characteristic of these states.
Research Topics:
- electronic liquid crystals
- Cooper-pair density wave states
- monopole and spin liquids
- magnetic topological insulators
- Cu/Fe high-Tc superconductors
- viscous electron fluids
- macroscopic quantum mechanics
- quantum microscope development
