General relativity and gravitational theory

Convener: Yuxiao LiuThe research project of gravitation and topological field theory in Lanzhou University was inspired by the work accomplished by Professor Yishi Duan between 1950s and 1960s about the Dirac equation in curved space-time and the conservation law in general relativity. Currently, there are 4 professors (Yuxiao Liu, Shaowen Wei, Jianbo Deng, Peng Xu), 5 associate professors (Jir...

Particle physics

​Lanzhou University at present has formed a theoretical and experimental research team of particle physics focusing on hadron physics and heavy flavor physics. Members of the theoretical team include Prof. Zhang Zhaoxi (academician), Prof. Liu Xiang, Prof. Yu Fusheng, Associate Prof. Liu Zhanwei, Associate Prof. Sun Zhifeng, Dr. Li Feng (young researcher) and Dr. Luo Siqiang (postdoc station)....

Quantum optics and quantum information

Quantum technology has opened up a new revolutionary change of traditional sciences and technologies. As one of the pillars of quantum technology, quantum metrology explores the possibility of using quantum effects as resources, e.g., quantum entanglement and quantum squeezing, to surpass the restriction of classical measurement accuracy. It may provide a new breakthrough of existing techniques...

Condense matter theory

Condensed matter physics is the science that deals with the macroscopic and microscopic physical properties of matter, which could include an extensive range of matter. Traditionally, understanding the fundamental principles of solids or fluids has been the most attractive subject in theoretical or experimental studies. Recently, more attentions are focused on the topological properties of insu...
