Quantum Cloud Group of BAQIS and the Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, used a superconducting quantum chip with 10 bits and 9 couplers arranged in one dimension to realize the promotion of the Aubry-André-Harper (GAAH) model for the first time. The different kinetic properties of the three phases and the phase transitions between them were observed at the multi-particle dynamics level.

Recently, Hongqi Xu's group from BAQIS and Peking University, in collaboration with Jian-Jun Zhang's group from the Institute of Physics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have reported the growth of a new layered material, spiral antimonene, using molecular beam epitaxy.

The anisotropic electrical and optical response of materials has allowed for the development of variety of sensors, memories and other interesting devices. Here, In-situ Quantum Transport Group turn their attention to the van der Waals antiferromagnetic insulator CrPS4, and demonstrate a very large, electrically tunable anisotropy in magnon transport, and present a multi-bit read-only memory based on this anisotropy.

Recently, assistant research scientist Jiesu Wang from Low-dimensional Quantum Materials Group, together with her collaborators have made a new progress in the research of magnetoelectric coupling of multiferroic thin films, providing new ideas and methods for exploring the magnetoelectric coupling effect of low-dimensional materials.
