Condensed Matter Theory Lab (Hoshino)
Machine-translated · View original
The lab uses theory to uncover the mysteries produced by collections of electrons in solids.
AboutAbout the lab
Toward the exotic properties that collections of electrons create.
The Condensed Matter Theory Lab (Hoshino Lab) studies, from a theoretical standpoint, the properties of matter produced by collective behavior of electrons in solids.
Electrons in solids are extremely numerous, and they give rise to a rich variety of cooperative phenomena that could not be imagined from the behavior of individual electrons.
A typical example is superconductivity, a quantum condensed state in which electrical resistance vanishes at low temperatures.
The lab aims to uncover the origins of these exotic properties and to open up new laws, phenomena, and functions.
Key terms
- Superconductivity
- A phenomenon in which electrical resistance becomes completely zero when a material is cooled below a certain temperature
- Field theory
- A theoretical framework in physics that treats particles as waves of a "field" spreading through space
- Quantum condensation
- A phenomenon in which many particles move in step and behave like a single quantum state
