Zihan Zhang is a Professor in the Department of Physics at Cornell University's College of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on quantum materials and theoretical physics, particularly in the context of valley coherence and moiré superlattices.

• University: Cornell University
• School: College of Arts and Sciences
• Department: Department of Physics

Research Interests include:

• Topological phases in quantum systems
• Spin-valley coupling in 2D materials
• Quantum simulation with excitons
• Phase transitions in correlated electron systems
• Edge state dynamics in low-dimensional systems
• Moiré lattice engineering for quantum control

Scientific Trends from recent publications show an emphasis on valley-pseudospin orders in artificial superlattices, neutral mode propagation in coherent states, and quantum Hubbard models for tunable excitonic phases.
