Closely integrated with experiments, focusing on simulations of low-dimensional quantum states, including three directions:

1. Prediction of low-dimensional materials and device physics: Interlayer coupling mechanisms and property prediction of two-dimensional magnetic, electric polarization, and correlated materials; prediction of interface properties of electronic devices

2. Physicochemical processes on surfaces and interfaces: Simulation of non-contact atomic force microscopy and scanning transmission electron microscopy; creation of surface artificial systems and prediction of special electronic states; simulation of physicochemical processes under electronic excited states

3. Theories of atomic manufacturing: Principles of low-dimensional material creation; creation of new materials via chemical potential regulation; simulation of atomic motion under non-equilibrium excited states
