Welcome to GO-Lab @KU Physics!

We are a condensed-matter theory and simulation group at the Department of Physics, College of Science, Korea University. 

The ultimate goals of the research in GO-Lab are to unveil quantum-mechanical nature of electron transport in nanoscale devices and establish design principles of the wavefunction in novel materials.  

Our Questions

How electrons move through materials when their wave nature becomes essential?

What kind of information is encoded in an electronic wave function?

Can we manipulate and transport it? Can we turn them into nanoscale quantum devices?

What are the design principles of novel materials with desirable quantum properties?

At GO-Lab, we seek answers to these fundamental questions by bridging quantum properties of matter with non-equilibrium dynamics and transport. Our work aims to uncover the microscopic principles governing quantum transport in novel materials and to transform them into design rules for next-generation quantum devices. Our research mission includes:

• Identifying the quantum-mechanical origins of electronic transport phenomena.

• Developing first-principles and model-based approaches to electronic structure and dynamics.

• Discovering new materials platforms and transport mechanisms for quantum device applicatoins such as spintronics, orbitronics and beyond.
