2022 Holiday Party

Welcome to the Liu Group! We create, manipulate, visualize, and understand novel quantum states of matter. Experimentally, we implement scanning tunneling microscopy, scanned Josephson tunneling microscopy, and single atom/molecule manipulation at cryogenic temperatures. Read more about our research
