The Theoretical Physics of Particle Systems Lab studies theoretical physics covering elementary particles, atomic nuclei, and the universe. The lab pursues research from several perspectives: theoretical particle physics (field theory and superstring theory), theoretical nuclear physics, and cosmological theory. It has become clear that the universe has not stood still, but has reached its present form through repeated, dramatic change. From a theoretical standpoint, the lab takes on challenges such as the "invisible parts" of the universe (dark matter and dark energy). The lab does not assign fourth-year undergraduates for their special research project (it accepts students from the graduate level). Professor Yutaka Ookouchi is also listed as a faculty member of the School of Interdisciplinary Science and Innovation.

The Experimental Nuclear Physics Lab creates atomic nuclei with accelerators and studies their properties experimentally. An atomic nucleus is a many-body system of protons and neutrons, and the nature of the strong force (nuclear force) that binds them together has still not been fully understood, even more than 100 years after the discovery of the nucleus. Pursuing the question "How did our universe come to be?" from the side of atomic nuclei, the lab investigates the synthesis of new elements and the processes by which elements are born in the universe. Experiments are carried out at Kyushu University's accelerator and also at off-campus accelerator facilities such as RIKEN.

The Computational Science Lab studies the foundational technologies for solving phenomena on computers. As the foundations of computational science that cut across fields, it covers three areas: modeling, which turns phenomena into mathematical equations; parallel algorithms, which split large computations up to solve them quickly; and high-precision computing, which accounts for even numerical errors. All three faculty members are primarily affiliated with the Research Institute for Information Technology, where they are also responsible for the operation, design, and construction of supercomputers and the development of numerical computing libraries that run on them. It is a lab placed in the Information Science course of the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, and in the Department of Information Science and Technology, Graduate School of Information Science and Electrical Engineering.

The Theoretical Particle Physics Lab conducts theoretical research on elementary particles, the basic building blocks of the universe. Building on past theoretical and experimental research, the lab tries to answer "ultimate questions" such as what the world is made of and how those constituents interact. Research is carried out in quantum field theory, physics beyond the Standard Model, and particle phenomenology and cosmology based on superstring theory. In the fourth-year special research project, students usually spend the whole year in a reading group going through introductory books on field theory, superstring theory, and particle physics.

The Theoretical Nuclear Physics Lab studies atomic nuclei and hadrons, aiming to understand the dynamics of quantum systems. Atomic nuclei are made only of protons and neutrons, yet they behave in many different ways, including deformation, vibration, and rotation. Using nuclear reactions, which are dynamic phenomena, the lab describes in fine detail how a nucleus changes its shape moment by moment during a reaction. The lab collaborates with researchers at the Research Center for Nuclear Physics at the University of Osaka and the RIKEN Nishina Center for Accelerator-Based Science.

The Quantum Cosmophysics Theory Lab uses quantum information theory to study cosmology and theories of gravity. The lab tackles questions such as "How did the universe begin and evolve?" and "Can gravity and quantum theory be unified?" In cosmology, it studies primordial gravitational waves and dark matter generated at the beginning of the universe, and in gravitational theory, it examines the consistency between gravity and quantum field theory.

The Experimental Particle Physics Lab studies elementary particles and their interactions through experiments using accelerators such as the LHC and J-PARC. Its aim is to probe the mysteries of the early universe, and it also carries out development research for future experiments. The lab's website introduces research activities on ATLAS, COMET, g-2/EDM, and FASER.

The Condensed Matter Theory Lab studies various phenomena seen in nonequilibrium, complex, and disordered systems, using theory based on statistical mechanics and computer simulations. Professor Fukuda mainly studies soft condensed matter (soft matter), centered on liquid crystals, and Lecturer Matsui mainly studies the glass transition and supercooled liquids. The research introduction also includes theoretical studies in sociophysics, which deals with economic phenomena.

The Condensed Matter Theory Lab theoretically studies quantum phenomena in materials that are characterized by topology, a mathematical concept. In topological insulators, the lab investigates electrical conduction and electromagnetic response at the surface. In topological superconductors, it investigates phenomena seen in junction systems as well as fundamental properties. In topological semimetals, the lab works on everything from clarifying fundamental properties to proposing operating principles for devices based on specific materials. In fractional quantum Hall insulators, the lab studies fundamental properties with topological quantum computation in mind.

The Mathematical Physics Lab conducts mathematical research on quantum systems with infinitely many degrees of freedom. The lab theoretically studies many-body correlations, targeting quantum systems, classical systems, and biological systems. It also deals with phase transitions and critical phenomena, as well as biological phenomena.
