The lab uses theoretical physics to study artificial quantum worlds such as cold atom systems.
AboutAbout the lab
Understanding quantum many-body systems through theory.
The Uchino Lab uses the methods of theoretical physics to study quantum many-body systems, which consist of a large number of quantum-mechanical degrees of freedom.
The lab focuses on artificial quantum systems such as cold atoms, which are leading candidates for quantum computers and quantum simulators.
The lab studies the quantum phenomena that emerge in these artificial quantum systems, in collaboration with experimental groups in Japan and abroad.

ResearchResearch themes
The Uchino Lab uses the methods of theoretical physics to study quantum many-body systems made up of many quantum-mechanical degrees of freedom. Focusing on artificial quantum systems such as cold atoms, the lab works on topics including quantum transport and open quantum systems.
*Illustrative imageCold Atoms
Using cold atoms, which are ensembles of atoms confined in a vacuum and cooled to extremely low temperatures, the lab theoretically clarifies new behavior of quantum many-body systems.
*Illustrative imageTheoretical Exploration of Quantum Transport Phenomena
The lab theoretically explores quantum-mechanical transport phenomena observed in metals, semiconductors, and superconductors, in both solid-state and cold atom systems.
*Illustrative imageNonequilibrium Properties of Open Quantum Systems
The lab studies open quantum systems, which evolve in time non-unitarily under the influence of their environment, with mesoscopic systems and optical cavity systems in mind.
*Illustrative imageDeveloping Theoretical Methods for Quantum Many-Body Systems
Theoretical methods that can accurately predict the behavior of quantum many-body systems have not yet been established. The lab works on analyses based on quantum field theory and on developing simulation methods.
