Three HKU Physics PhD students—Min Long, Menghan Song, and Ting-Tung Wang—embarked on a scientific journey at the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in Trieste, Italy, last December. Below they share their experiences of exchanging knowledge and exploring...

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong, led by Professor Zi Yang Meng, along with international collaborators, have made significant progress toward resolving a contentious puzzle in quantum physics by determining when deconfined quantum critical points represent genuine continuous phase...

The ability to control electron motion with light fields represents a transformative frontier in modern physics, enabling dynamic manipulation of material properties at ultrafast timescales. Yet, the complex interplay between light and excited carriers—via mechanisms such as the AC Stark...

Researchers at the University of Hong Kong have developed a pioneering method to map quantum entanglement, a phenomenon where particles remain interconnected regardless of distance. This innovation, termed entanglement microscopy, provides a novel way to study the intricate behaviours of quantum...
