Mingyang Guo

Dr. Mingyang Guo is an Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), where he leads the Ultracold Dipolar Quantum Gas Laboratory. He joined SUSTech in November 2021 after conducting postdoctoral research at the University of Stuttgart.

Dr. Guo received his bachelor's degree in physics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2013 and completed his Ph.D. at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2018. His doctoral research focused on creating ultracold ground-state NaRb molecules and manipulating their chemical reactivity and collisional properties.

Dr. Guo's research focuses on exploring novel quantum phenomena in ultracold atomic and molecular systems. His work has made significant contributions to understanding dipolar quantum gases, supersolids, and quantum droplets. Through experimental investigations of strongly magnetic dysprosium atoms and ultracold molecules, his research group probes fundamental questions in quantum many-body physics and quantum simulation. His publication record demonstrates a consistent focus on quantum phenomena in dipolar systems, with particular emphasis on supersolidity, quantum droplets, and ultracold molecular physics. His work on supersolid states was recognized as one of the "Highlights of the year 2019" by the American Physical Society.

As a doctoral supervisor at SUSTech, Dr. Guo mentors graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in experimental quantum physics. His laboratory actively seeks funding through national and regional research grants to support its experimental program, including the National-level Talent program. The Ultracold Dipolar Quantum Gas Laboratory focuses on using ultracold dipolar quantum gases to study novel quantum states, including quantum droplets under low-dimensional confinement, supersolid states, and unconventional superfluids. The group also investigates quantum simulations in long-range interacting strongly correlated optical lattice systems, researching topics such as the extended Hubbard model, topological phases, and non-equilibrium dynamical processes.
