研究室紹介

Professor Lee Minchul's research lab specializes in quantum transport phenomena in low-dimensional systems, with a focus on strongly correlated electron systems, spintronics, and thermoelectric effects in nanostructured materials. The lab investigates quantum dot-based devices, including Josephson junctions and doped semiconductors, to explore emergent quantum phases such as room-temperature ferromagnetism and 0–π transitions. Using advanced theoretical frameworks like the nonequilibrium Keldysh formalism, the group uncovers non-equilibrium dynamics, including the interplay between Coulomb interactions, temperature modulation, and charge/heat transport. Their work bridges fundamental many-body physics with potential applications in spintronics and quantum energy conversion.

The Role of Carbon Doping in ZnO
박준원, 최석호, 이민철, 김동학, 임대영

ZnO doped with non-magnetic C has been reported to exhibit room-temperature ferromagnetism (RTF). The theoretical explanations of the RTF in ZnO:C are based on the incorporation of C at the O site and on the p-p exchange interaction between the localized C2p spins and valenceband holes. Here, we investigated the incorporation site of C and the electrical properties of Cdoped ZnO films grown by using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) under oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor conditions. Contrary to the theor

Proposal for Detection of the 0′ and π′ Phases in Quantum-Dot Josephson Junctions
Minchul Lee, Rosa López, H. Q. Xu, Gloria Platero
SJR Q1Physical Review LettersOA

The competition between the Kondo correlation and superconductivity in quantum-dot Josephson junctions (QDJJs) has been known to drive a quantum phase transition between 0 and π junctions. Theoretical studies so far have predicted that under strong Coulomb correlations the 0-π transition should go through intermediate states, 0^{'} and π^{'} phases. By combining a nonperturbative numerical method and the resistively shunted junction model, we investigated the magnetic-field-driven phase transiti

Heat and charge transport in interacting nanoconductors driven by time-modulated temperatures
Rosa López, Pascal Simon, Minchul Lee
SJR Q1SciPost PhysicsOA

We investigate the quantum transport of the heat and the charge through a quantum dot coupled to fermionic contacts under the influence of time modulation of temperatures. We derive, within the nonequilibrium Keldysh Green’s function formalism, generic formulas for the charge and heat currents by extending the concept of gravitational field introduced by Luttinger to the dynamically driven system and by identifying the correct form of dynamical contact energy. In linear response regime our forma

Effects of Majorana bound states on dissipation and charging in a quantum resistor-capacitor circuit
이민철

We investigate the effects of Majorana bound states on the ac response of a quantum resistor-capacitor circuit which is composed of a topological superconducting wire whose two ends are tunnel-coupled to a lead and a spinless quantum dot, respectively. The Majorana states formed at the two ends of the wire are found to suppress completely or enhance greatly the dissipation, depending on the strength of the overlap between two Majorana modes and/or the dot level. We compare the relaxation resista

Efficient Gaussian Simulations of Fermionic Open Quantum Systems
Yinan Fang, Hyesung Choi, Minchul Lee, Mahn‐Soo Choi
SJR Q1Advanced Quantum TechnologiesOA

ABSTRACT We review existing classical simulation methods for performing fermionic Gaussian operations and develop new methods to address the gap by adhering to the fundamental theoretical framework established by Bravyi [Quantum Info. Comput. 5, 216 (2005)] for the most general fermionic Gaussian processes. Throughout this attempt, the focus remains on the unified approach that can be applied to generic fermionic Gaussian operations. This is beneficial since the selection of simulation methods h
