Spontaneous symmetry breaking (ordering) is a central theme of condensed matter physics. We are especially interested in the elementary excitations and responses that emerge from ordering, and have theoretically predicted unusual phenomena arising from magnetic and superconducting orders, demonstrating them together with experimental groups. See Research for details.
