CNMP Lab · People & Collaborations

Quantum materials are a collaborative problem

CNMP brings together theorists, computational materials scientists, and experimental physicists to connect microscopic models with measurable phenomena. Many of our current projects grow through the Center for Extreme Quantum Matter and Functionality.

Our Working Model

CNMP is both a laboratory and a research network: questions are developed collectively across institutions, methods, and the boundary between theory and experiment.

Principal Investigator

Theoretical direction and computational research

CNMP’s research begins with physical questions about how electronic structure, strong interactions, symmetry, and dimensionality produce new material behavior.

Principal Investigator

Jaejun Yu

Professor of Physics · Seoul National University

Electronic structure, magnetism, and topological properties of transition-metal oxides and low-dimensional materials, studied through quantum-mechanical models and computational methods.

How We Collaborate

One question, several forms of evidence

01Physical modelsIdentify the interactions, symmetries, and mechanisms that define the scientific question.
02ComputationTranslate those ideas into electronic-structure calculations, predictive simulations, and materials searches.
03Experimental dialogueUse measurable signatures and material constraints to challenge, refine, and validate theoretical predictions.
