Ghahari’s lab aims to address some of the important fundamental questions about the interaction effects and superconductivity as well as quantum statistics and topology in correlated phases of matter. To pursue this objective, our current research focuses on two directions: I) Realizing specific device structures with precise nanoscale electrostatic control which allow probing specific characteristics of emergent phases, II) entropic and thermal sensitive detection of correlated phenomena which provide direct access to thermodynamic properties of the system.
We employ innovative techniques to enable engineering clean layered heterostructures with tunable dimensionalities and novel device architectures for thermal sensitive measurements. The quantum phenomena in these specific geometries/structures are being studied employing different techniques such as electrical transport and thermal measurements, tuning experimental knobs such as temperature, electric and magnetic fields.
Our research can have important implications in development of innovative quantum devices and advancement of quantum information technologies such as on-chip superconducting circuits, design of new types of qubits, spintronic devices, and topological quantum computing schemes.
Ghahari Lab is a member of the Quantum Science and Engineering Center (QSEC), an interdisciplinary and collaborative research community dedicated to advancing quantum technology.
