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.

The Mathematical Informatics group studies various phenomena that appear in science and technology from an informatics perspective, building and analyzing mathematical models. Through this analysis, the group aims to solve a wide range of problems in information processing. The group includes labs that work on string algorithms, machine learning and information theory, information security, quantum information, and more. The group is listed under the Information Science course in the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science, and under the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Faculty of Engineering. Its graduate program is the Department of Information Science and Technology in the Graduate School of Information Science and Electrical Engineering.

The Intelligence Science Lab aims to scientifically investigate human intelligence and behavior, establish foundational information science technologies that support human intellectual activity, and develop applications of them. Rather than a single lab, it is a division made up of multiple labs, each working on different themes such as cognitive science, machine learning, natural language processing, and multi-agent systems. It is a division of the Department of Information Science and Technology in the Graduate School of Information Science and Electrical Engineering, and is also introduced as a lab of the Information Science course in the Department of Physics, Faculty of Science.

The Coordination Chemistry Lab studies polynuclear metal complexes, focusing on the functions and properties that emerge when multiple metal ions organize together. Research subjects include the relationship between metal–metal interactions and chemical reactivity, molecular photodevices capable of generating hydrogen using light, and molecular catalysts that produce oxygen and reduce carbon dioxide. Aiming to develop practical functional metal complexes, the lab carries out the synthesis, structural analysis, and functional evaluation of new polynuclear complexes.

The Physical Chemistry of Metal Complexes Lab conducts research aiming to clarify the relationship between the structure of metal complexes and their properties and functions. Metal complexes are hybrids of inorganic and organic components, and are characterized by their diverse structures and properties. The lab precisely analyzes the structures of polynuclear metal complexes and of coordination polymers, which are assemblies of metal complexes, and evaluates their properties and functions. Using the mesoscale regions formed by artificial membranes and cell membranes, the lab works on controlling the formation of metal complex mesocrystals and on developing composites of membranes and metal complexes, with the further aim of controlling cell functions.

The Bioanalytical Chemistry Lab studies the structures and functions of biological membranes by combining analytical chemistry and organic chemistry (chemical biology). Because many commercially available drugs act on membrane proteins and lipid membranes, the lab aims to extend techniques from biological membrane research to clarifying how drugs work, diagnosing diseases, and drug discovery. In running the lab, it takes "improving quality of life (QOL)" as a keyword, and it offers orientation courses and hands-on experimental guidance so that newly assigned students can start their research with confidence. Its research equipment includes NMR, mass spectrometers, and capillary electrophoresis systems.

The Structural Chemistry Lab studies the forces acting between molecules by isolating clusters, which are assemblies of a few to several hundred molecules. Water vapor cools into liquid water and eventually becomes ice because intermolecular forces act between water molecules. Using spectroscopic experiments and theoretical calculations, the lab investigates at the molecular level the microscopic structure of solvent molecules surrounding organic molecules and metal ions, as well as the interactions between solute and solvent molecules. The lab has official activities such as a journal club, where members introduce papers to one another, and a colloquium, where they take turns reading English texts.
