When electrons interact strongly, a material can develop collective properties that are difficult to explain by treating the particles independently. Wang studies the theory of correlated electron materials, including high temperature superconductors, cobaltates, and ruthenates. His research also addresses magnetism, heavy fermion systems, and quantum spin systems. Further interests include unconventional superconductivity, emergent electronic states, and phases with topological order. Work on quantum Hall systems and graphene extends these questions to mesoscopic materials, connecting theoretical descriptions of interacting electrons with the diverse states that quantum matter can support.
