A lab that uses computer simulation to explore the behavior of quantum fluids and the application of machine learning to physics.

AboutAbout the lab
Tackling quantum fluids and machine learning through computer simulation.
The Saito Lab uses computer simulation to study quantum fluid dynamics and the application of machine learning to physics.
Quantum fluids, such as superfluids and Bose-Einstein condensates, are unusual fluids that have no viscosity and form quantized vortices, in which each vortex line is discrete.
In its machine learning research, the lab uses neural networks and similar methods to solve problems in quantum mechanics.
The lab's website says it suits students who are good at programming, but that students who are motivated can achieve results even if they lack confidence.
Key terms
- Quantum fluid
- A fluid such as a superfluid or a Bose-Einstein condensate. It has no viscosity, and its vortices form as discrete, individual lines.
- Quantized vortex
- A vortex that forms in a quantum fluid, with each vortex line discrete.
- Neural network
- A method used in artificial intelligence techniques. This lab uses it to solve problems in quantum mechanics.

ResearchResearch themes
The Saito Lab studies two themes, quantum fluid dynamics and the application of artificial intelligence techniques to physics, using computer simulation as its main method. The lab aims to understand the essence of fluid phenomena by investigating the behavior of quantum fluids, and it also works on using machine learning to solve problems in quantum mechanics.
*Illustrative imageQuantum Fluid Dynamics
Quantum fluids have no viscosity, and their vortices are discrete, with each vortex line separate (quantized vortices). By investigating their behavior, the lab aims to understand the essence of fluid phenomena.
*Illustrative imageApplying Artificial Intelligence Techniques to Physics
This research uses neural networks and machine learning (deep learning) to solve problems in quantum mechanics. Research applying these techniques to many fields of physics is advancing rapidly around the world.
