The lab studies the quantum behavior that matter shows in a world close to absolute zero.
AboutAbout the lab
Observing quantum behavior in the world of absolute zero
The Superfluid Physics Lab is a low-temperature physics lab that studies the behavior of matter at extremely low temperatures.
The Nomura-Tani group works on the superfluidity shown by helium, as well as quantum liquids and quantum solids.
The Kobayashi group investigates the electronic properties of organic conductors from the perspectives of superconductivity and magnetism.
The lab has reported results in papers, such as anomalous oscillations of helium droplets and time crystals that appear in dripping.
Key terms
- Superfluidity
- A phenomenon in which liquid helium loses its viscosity at extremely low temperatures and flows without resistance
- Quantum solid
- A material in which quantum mechanical effects are strong and the atoms keep moving around even within the solid
- Organic conductor
- An electrically conducting material made up of molecules that contain carbon

ResearchResearch themes
The lab experimentally studies the superfluidity of helium, quantum liquids and quantum solids, and the electronic properties of organic conductors, all of which appear at extremely low temperatures. It focuses on the fact that even familiar phenomena such as dripping droplets show fundamentally different behavior once superfluidity is involved.
