The Elementary Particle Theory Lab studies elementary particles, the most fundamental building blocks of matter, and the laws that govern them. The work is theoretical, describing the behavior of elementary particles within the framework of quantum field theory of gauge fields. Using flavor physics and CP violation as clues, the lab works toward physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The lab also advances research on nonperturbative methods, which apply field theory to strongly interacting systems.

The Experimental Particle Physics Lab studies elementary particles, the most fundamental building blocks of matter, especially neutrinos. Founded in January 2021, it is a new lab that mainly uses accelerators and tracking detectors. Neutrinos are hard to produce and hard to detect, and many of their properties remain unknown even today. Through experiments at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, the lab works to unravel the mysteries of astroparticle physics.

The lab studies the properties of atomic nuclei, treated as finite quantum many-body systems, from a theoretical standpoint. An atomic nucleus is a system of about 100 protons and neutrons packed into a region roughly one ten-thousandth the size of an atom, moving according to quantum mechanics. The elements around us were synthesized by nuclear reactions over the history of the universe. Making active use of computers, the lab studies the various properties of atomic nuclei theoretically.

The lab studies topics ranging from the large-scale structure of the universe and mergers of black holes and neutron stars to cosmic-ray acceleration and astrophysical magnetospheres. The lab clarifies cosmic phenomena at many different scales using theory and simulation. Using gravitational lensing and gravitational waves based on general relativity, together with nuclear physics and plasma physics, the lab takes on the challenge of explaining these phenomena. The lab also collaborates with projects at the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, JAXA, and research institutions in Europe and the United States, carrying out theoretical simulation research closely tied to observation.

The lab pursues new approaches to observing the universe, centered on two fields: neutrino astronomy and multimessenger astronomy. The Neutrino Astronomy division to which the lab belongs is the only institution from Japan participating in the IceCube experiment, an international collaboration of 12 countries conducted at the South Pole. Photodetectors embedded in the glacier capture the Cherenkov light emitted by neutrinos, elementary particles that cannot be seen. The lab also works on hardware, including the development of new photodetectors for next-generation experiments.

The Sato Lab builds on condensed matter theory and statistical physics to study quantum many-body systems, optical properties of matter, and nonequilibrium phenomena across these areas. The lab explores, from a theoretical standpoint, how to understand and create new properties of matter. Its research is organized around keywords such as spintronics, magneto-optics, and Floquet engineering. While learning from the long history of physics, the lab aims to create new phenomena and research fields through ideas not bound by existing frameworks.

The Condensed Matter Theory Lab (Hoshino Lab) studies, from a theoretical standpoint, the properties of matter produced by collective behavior of electrons in solids. Electrons in solids are extremely numerous, and they give rise to a rich variety of cooperative phenomena that could not be imagined from the behavior of individual electrons. A typical example is superconductivity, a quantum condensed state in which electrical resistance vanishes at low temperatures. The lab aims to uncover the origins of these exotic properties and to open up new laws, phenomena, and functions.

The Electronic Properties Physics Lab studies the properties of solids in which electrons play the leading role, using experimental techniques such as nuclear magnetic resonance. Its research centers on magnetism and conduction related to "electron correlation," in which the Coulomb interaction between electrons has a strong effect. The lab is divided into two groups, the Quantum Properties Group (formerly the Low-Temperature Properties Group) and the Electronic Properties Group, each carrying out experiments on its own themes. Noting that even materials with the same chemical formula can change greatly in their properties under pressure, the lab also performs measurements under pressure.

The Optical Properties and Quantum Transport Physics Lab studies the optical properties and electrical conduction of semiconductors with nanoscale structures. When electrons or light are confined in an extremely small space, quantum effects appear clearly in the response to light and in electrical conduction. These effects make it possible to control the interaction between matter and light. Using extreme techniques such as semiconductor microfabrication, cryogenic temperatures and strong magnetic fields, and the measurement of extremely small currents and voltages, the lab aims to search for and elucidate new physical phenomena.

The Nonlinear and Soft Matter Physics Lab studies nonlinear systems that show a wide variety of motions and patterns. The mechanisms behind many dynamic phenomena, including those of living systems, are still not understood. The difficulty lies in nonlinearity, where the whole cannot be expressed as the sum of its individual elements, and in nonequilibrium, where matter and energy flow in and out. Centered on experiments at scales from micrometers to millimeters, the lab combines them with theoretical analysis and numerical computation.
