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.

The Magnetic Physics Lab searches for unusual physical phenomena that appear in magnetic materials and conducts research to clarify their mechanisms. In compounds containing europium (Eu) or ytterbium (Yb), the lab studies phenomena in which the "valence" of the ions switches between 2+ and 3+, or the ions line up in a fixed pattern. The lab captures these behaviors by examining changes under applied pressure and through diffraction experiments using X-rays and neutrons. The lab belongs to the Quantum Condensed Matter field, Condensed Matter Physics chair, Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Graduate School, Kyushu University.

The Emergent Quantum Matter Lab experimentally studies quantum-mechanical many-body phenomena exhibited by vast numbers of electrons and spins in solids. The lab is interested in unconventional superconductivity, including high-temperature superconductivity, as well as heavy-fermion states, quantum critical phenomena, quantum spin liquids, and topological phenomena. The word "emergent" in the lab's name refers to the appearance, in systems where electrons and spins interact strongly, of new properties that cannot be understood from the properties of the constituents alone. It is a new lab, established in April 2024.

The Condensed Matter Optics Lab conducts experimental research that manipulates and observes quantum phases of matter, including superconducting states, on ultrafast timescales, using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and cryogenic techniques. The lab also develops new light sources and spectroscopic techniques, aiming to bring about novel quantum phenomena arising from the interaction between light and matter. Established in November 2022, the lab belongs to the Quantum Condensed Matter group of the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, Kyushu University.

The Solid-State Electronic Properties Lab experimentally studies novel quantum transport phenomena that appear in conductors, magnets, superconductors, and their hybrid structures, which are artificially shaped into fine structures at the nanoscale. The lab focuses in particular on physical phenomena related to "spin currents," which are flows of spin generated by the flow of electrons. The research field dealing with phenomena in which the effects of electron spin appear in the flow of electricity is called spintronics, and this lab experimentally studies its physical aspects. As the Future Semiconductor Research Division of the Center for Semiconductor and Device Ecosystem Research and Education, the lab also conducts research and development on next-generation semiconductor devices that make use of the properties of electron spin.

The Fundamental Complex Matter Lab conducts cutting-edge research on the structure and dynamics of assemblies made up of molecules. The lab focuses on DNA and proteins that make up the body and on lipid molecules that form cell membranes, and investigates the structures they form and their dynamic properties. The lab consists of two groups: the Kimura group, which works on soft matter, and the Inagaki group, which works on granular matter physics. Graduate students decide on their own topics in consultation with faculty and carry out their research under a "one project per student" system.

The Complex Living Matter Lab experimentally investigates how and why the behavior and properties of living things differ from those of nonliving "matter." The lab studies the properties that soft matter, such as the contents of cells, shows under nonequilibrium fluctuations generated by metabolism, aiming to get at the essence of life phenomena. Using optical tweezers and AFM, the lab applies forces to single molecules and microparticles or manipulates their positions, creates artificial nonequilibrium environments in tiny spaces, and observes their behavior. In the special research project (for new fourth-year students), students read papers together and then pursue their own topics, with the goal of presenting at the Kyushu Branch meeting of the Physical Society of Japan.
