HK Forum on Quantumology 香港量子學論壇| Sunday, 23 November 2025 | RHT HKU

We are pleased to announce the HK Forum on Quantumology香港量子學論壇 , held in celebration of the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). The event is organized by the HK Institute of Quantum Science and Technology in collaboration with the HK Branch of the Quantum Science Centre of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area. Scheduled for 23 November 2025 at the Rysan Huang Theatre, of HKU, this event offers a distinguished platform for academic exchange, collaboration, and innovation in quantum science and technology. You are cordially invited to participate in a series of engaging activities, including keynote and invited talks, as well as roundtable discussions featuring leading quantum scientists.

“High-Tc superconductivity based on low-dimensional materials platforms” by Prof. Zhenyu ZHANG on Thursday, November 6, 2025, 4:30pm Room 522, 5/F, Chong Yuet Ming Physics Building, HKU

Discoveries of new superconductors with high transition temperatures have been a perpetual drive of condensed matter physics. In this talk, I attempt to give an overview on recent advances in this vibrant area, with some of own stories squeezed in. We start from predictive designs of freestanding or supported superconducting monolayers that may exhibit high-Tc superconductivity, as well as low-dimensional systems that display exotic Ising, chiral, or p-wave superconductivity. On the mechanistic side, I will demonstrate how plasmonic excitations or pronounced correlation effects can enhance the superconductivity of iron-based superconductors, and predict designer substrates that may optimize the strain in La3Ni2O7 thin films for maximally enhanced Tc.
