Dr. Hu's main research area is condensed matter theory, but he currently also maintains a strong side interest in light scattering, quantum computing, quantum optics, and various condensed phases of trapped and cooled atoms. Most of his past research publications are focused on the space- and/or time-dependent properties of superconductors and superfluid <sup>3</sup>He. In the past, he has investigated surface superconductivity; flux-flow-related transport properties and transport entropy of Type II superconductors; microscopic derivation of the dynamic equations for inhomogenous superconductors; coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetism; non-linear magnetic, hydrodynamic, and textual properties of superfluid <sup>3</sup>He; superconducting networks; two-dimensional superfluidity; and granular superconductors; as well as light scattering from a non-ellipsoidally-shaped dielectric particle with a size of the order of the light wave-length, and the related symmetry properties. His current interest is concentrated on the anisotropy- and pairing-symmetry-related properties of cuprate high-temperature and other unconventional superconductors, as well as pairing of fermions with mis-matched Fermi surfaces, including, but not limited to, the so-called FFLO (Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov) state.
Research Topics: Condensed Matter Theory. Quantum Computing.
