從19世紀被發現, 液晶長期被認為是實驗室的好奇心與有限的實用價值的軟物質。 20世紀70年代, 由於液晶顯示(LCD)技術的發現, 液晶現在已作為一個年盈利數十億美元全球產業的基礎。 4個發明人G. Haiermeyer , W.Helfrich, M. Schadt, 與 T. P. Brody于2012年二月因發明液晶顯示被授予有“工程諾貝爾獎之稱”的美國工程院最高獎, 德瑞珀獎。 在1971年發明成為現代LCD產業的關鍵技術--扭曲向列相液晶器, W.Helfrich 1973年把研究轉向一個困惑了人們100多年的生理問題, 為什麼紅細胞在人體內總是旋轉對稱的雙凹碟形。

他把細胞膜看成液晶膜, 從液晶彈性理論匯出了生物膜的曲面彈性自由能, 這個自由能的變分匯出了描述細胞形狀的曲面方程(Ou-Yang and Helfrich, 1987)。 這次報告將彙報我們多年來用Helfrich液晶流體膜(FM)理論研究的一些進展, 我們發現Helfrich FM理論不僅能給出紅細胞的形狀的精確解析解而且預言存在生成圓半徑比為根號2的環面泡並很快被多個實驗室觀察確認。 特別是, Helfrich模型還可以成功地應用於其他軟物質的複雜形狀構成的研究, 如給出符合實驗發現構成膽結石的膽固醇螺旋膜螺旋角解析公式, 碳納米螺旋管形成機理, 肽納米結構管狀到球狀的結構相變, 以及病毒衣殼的二十面體的自組裝等。 由於Helfrich的生物膜理論的傑出貢獻,
2012年9月在波茨坦為他舉行了80歲誕辰的學術研討會, 出席會議並做報告的Yoshi1nori Ohsumi於2016年因細胞自噬(這與細胞形狀變形有關)獲得2016年諾貝爾生物物理與醫學獎。 2012年12月在以色列特拉維夫大學, 因液晶生物膜理論的貢獻授予W.Helfrich塞克勒國際生物物理獎, 作者被邀請在頒獎會上做介紹液晶生物膜理論報告, 本次講座內容大體基於這個報告。

In the talk the speaker will discuss the implication of the 1.4 TeV peak observed by DAMPE experiment, and review the explanations of the peak in new physics models. In particular, he will focus on the left-right symmetric model, and point out that the model itself can predict the DM which annihilates dominantly into leptons, and consequently it is capable of explaining the peak in a rather natural way. Other theoretical issues, such as unitary constraints on the model and the two loop effects on the RGE running of the relevant couplings, are also discussed.

Competition between different ordered phases in strongly correlated systems can lead to the appearance of new exotic quantum phases. I will iscuss the phase diagram of the extended one-dimensional Bose Hubbard model. I use quantum Monte Carlo and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) to show that this system exhibits first order, second order and Kosterlitz-Thouless quantum phase transitions. I map out the the ground state phase diagram and show the appearance of an exotic Haldane phase for a small range of parameters while CDW, Mott, superfluid and supersolid phases appear for a wide range of parameters.

Nonlinear decay of toroidal Alfven eigenmode (TAE) into a geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) and a lower kinetic TAE (LKTAE) with the same toroidal/popoidal mode number is investigated due to its crucial implications on TAE nonlinear saturation, improved confinement, as well as energetic particle (EP) power channeling, including fusion-alpha power density to bulk thermal plasma heating. The parametric dispersion relation is derived and analyzed, and the parameter range for this process to occur and dominate over other mechanisms is discussed. The nonlinearly generated LKTAE and GAM can be dissipated via electron and ion Landau damping, respectively, leading to anomalous EP slowing down and channeling of EP power to thermal ion heating. The thermal plasma heating rates are also estimated. Furthermore, the nonlinearly generated GAM, as the finite frequency zonal flow, could contribute to regulating drift wave turbulence and consequently, improved confinem.

In my talk, I discuss effective models for Dirac fermions which emerge as quasi-particle excitations on the honeycomb lattice and many other condensed-matter systems. These Dirac fermions can undergo different types of quantum transitions which represent unconventional universality classes related to variants of the Gross-Neveu model. In particular, I present our perturbative renormalization group study at four-loop order. We applied the computed series for the critical exponents and their Pade approximants to several phase transitions of current interest: metal-insulator transitions of spin-1/2 and spinless fermions on the honeycomb lattice, emergent supersymmetric surface field theory in topological phases, as well as the disorder-induced quantum transition in Weyl semimetals. Comparison with the results of other analytical and numerical methods, i.e. quantum Monte Carlo simulations, the functional renormalization group and the conformal bootstrap approach, is discussed. Depending on time, I will also discuss functional RG results for the fermion-induced quantum critical points and emergent symmetries of compatible order parameters in Dirac systems.

5d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) have various string constructions, one of which is type IIB (p,q) 5-brane web, and the 5-brane web is a useful tool to study qualitative and quantitative aspects of 5d SCFTs. We discuss 5d N=1 theories of gauge groups SO(N) and Sp(N) which can be constructed using 5-brane webs with an O5-plane. In this talk, we propose topological vertex formalism with an O5-plane, which enables one to compute the Nekrasov partition functions for 5d theories of gauge groups SO(N) and Sp(N). As an example, we apply the formalism to 5d Sp(1) gauge theory with Nf=0 and 8 flavors. We further explore 5d brane constructions for 5d G2 gauge theories through the Higgsing of SO(7) gauge theory with a hypermultiplet in the spinor representation, and then compute their partition functions based on 5-brane webs, by utilizing the topological vertex method with an O5-plane.

The antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain is expected to have an extended symmetry, [SU(2)xSU(2)]/Z_2 , in the infrared limit, whose physical interpretation is that the spin and dimer order parameters form the components of a common 4-dimensional vector. Here we numerically investigate this emergent symmetry using quantum Monte Carlo simulations of a modified Heisenberg chain (the J-Q model) in which the logarithmic scaling corrections of the conventional Heisenberg chain can be avoided. We show how the two- and three-point spin and dimer correlation functions approach their forms constrained by conformal field theory as the system size increases and numerically confirm the expected effects of the extended symmetry on various correlation functions. This talk will be based on work presented in https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.02041.

近年來冷凍電鏡技術取得了質的飛躍, 病毒三維重構在推動該技術的發展過程中起到了至關重要的作用。 多數病毒顆粒由二十面體對稱的衣殼和內部非二十面體對稱的基因組及大量相關蛋白(對稱失配結構)組成。

病毒顆粒的高對稱性促進了其三維重構解析度的提高, 然而對稱失配及超大尺度又極大地限制了其結構研究。 本次彙報將介紹我們在冷凍電鏡病毒近原子分辨三維重構、二十面體病毒對稱失配三維重構及超大尺度病毒顆粒重構等方面所做的工作。

With the discoveries of thousands of planets, the Kepler mission has brought revolutions to the exoplanet researching field, which is advancing from studying individual exoplanets to characterizing planet populations. However, making any reliable statistical inference with a large Kepler planet sample is seriously limited by the lack of accurate stellar parameters for the majority of the targets. With 4000 fibers and 5 degrees of diameter field of view, the LAMOST is uniquely positioned to perform a systematic spectroscopic survey of Kepler target stars, forming a complete and unbiased sample to perform statistical inference on planet distribution and correlations with host properties, which provides new insights on planet formation and evolution. This talk will review several such statistical studies, showing how LAMOST can impact the study Kepler planets. In the future, LAMOST will continue to play such a crucial role in the TESS era.

In this talk, I will review our recent activities with our collaborators on designing and fabricating superconducting circuits integrating up to 20 qubits for scalable quantum information processing. In particular, I will introduce a superconducting quantum processor featuring 10 individually-accessible Xmon qubits that are controllably coupled to a bus resonator, bas ed on which we deterministically produce the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states with up to 10 qubits. The 10-qubit GHZ state, whose full information is obtained through tomographic measurement, represents the largest entangled state produced so far in solid state architectures. With the excellent control developed in our experiment, our multi-qubit superconducting circuits may provide a promising platform for simulating intriguing physics of quantum many-body systems.
