The Response Properties Lab (Y Lab) studies the "responses" that appear when electric fields, magnetic fields, pressure, and the like are applied to materials. Responses such as polarization, magnetization, and strain offer clues to the inner workings of materials and can also become tools that enrich daily life. The lab synthesizes materials with distinctive structures, such as crystals, quasicrystals, and glasses, in house and measures their responses over wide ranges of temperature and frequency. The lab pursues two complementary lines of work: basic research in condensed matter physics and applied research aimed at innovation in science and technology.

E Lab (the Elementary Particle Theory Lab) explores, from a theoretical standpoint, the most fundamental laws of nature, such as the origins of matter, forces, and time and space. Founded in 1942 by Shoichi Sakata, the lab has sent many researchers out into the world, including Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa. The lab's atmosphere is described as "free," and its staff, each an expert in a different field, respond to the varied research ambitions of young researchers. The lab values free thinking and says the subject of research does not have to be elementary particles.

The H Lab (Quark-Hadron Theory Lab) aims to elucidate quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the fundamental theory describing the dynamics of quarks and gluons. The lab theoretically studies the structure of hadrons, which are particles made up of bound quarks, and their behavior at high temperature and high density. Research on dense matter also contributes to understanding cosmic phenomena such as the internal structure of neutron stars, neutron star mergers, and supernova explosions. The lab aims to develop new theories and models to solve puzzles from experiments and to make proposals for future experiments.

The QG Lab (General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology Lab) conducts a broad range of research on gravitational theory. Centered on general relativity, the lab theoretically studies phenomena that occur under strong gravity, such as those around black holes, and problems in cosmology from the early universe to the present. The lab also conducts fundamental research that applies quantum information theory on nontrivial spacetime structures to understand the relationship between gravity and quantum theory. The lab holds weekly lab colloquia, seminars featuring invited external researchers, and sessions introducing newly published papers.

The P Lab (Plasma Theory Lab) studies plasmas in space and in the laboratory through theoretical analysis and computer simulation. Most of the interstellar matter filling space is in the plasma state, and plasmas are also used in fusion experiments and semiconductor processes. From a physics perspective, the lab works to elucidate instabilities, turbulence, shock waves, explosive phenomena, and structure formation occurring in plasmas. The lab carries out simulation research using supercomputers at institutions such as Nagoya University and the National Institute for Fusion Science.

The C Lab (Cosmology Lab) theoretically studies the origin, evolution, and structure of the universe itself. Its activities center on "observational cosmology," which tests theoretical models against observational facts. To build up the latest observational data and compare it with theoretical predictions, the lab uses large-scale numerical simulations and statistical methods for handling vast amounts of observational data. Based on theoretical predictions, the lab also proposes observational projects.

The Theoretical Astrophysics Lab (Ta Lab) is a lab that uses fundamental physics, along with numerical calculations on supercomputers and analytical methods, to uncover the mysteries of the universe. At present, it studies the formation processes of a wide variety of celestial objects in particular. When necessary, it draws on theories from any area of physics, and it also studies the methods and algorithms needed for the calculations. Professor Inutsuka hopes for ambitious students who can pursue research with a broad interest in physics and other fields of science.

The Galaxy Evolution Lab (Ω Lab) studies how galaxies, which are huge collections of stars, gas, and dark matter, formed and evolved over the history of the universe. Using both observational and theoretical methods, the lab covers a wide range of physical scales, from a single star to galaxy clusters (large-scale structure). In recent years, it has also worked on research using advanced statistical methods known as astrostatistics.

The Complexity Science Theory Lab studies the science of complexity hidden in nature from a variety of perspectives, with plasma as its main subject. Plasma is the fourth state of matter, reached at extremely high temperatures, in which atomic nuclei and electrons fly about at high speed and behave in complex ways unlike ordinary matter. To study complexity, which is hard to elucidate by experiment or theory alone, the lab uses computer simulation, the third approach after experiment and theory. The lab is located at the National Institute for Fusion Science in Toki, Gifu Prefecture, and also has office space on the Higashiyama Campus.

The Nonequilibrium Physics Lab (R Lab) studies, theoretically and numerically, nonequilibrium phenomena in "flowing matter" such as glasses, the jamming transition, and soft matter, as well as in active matter, which consists of self-propelled particles. Thermodynamics and statistical mechanics taught at the undergraduate level deal with thermal equilibrium, but most natural phenomena around us occur in nonequilibrium states far from equilibrium. No physical theory yet unifies the understanding of nonequilibrium phenomena, and the lab's major goal is to find the universal laws hidden behind seemingly complex phenomena. The lab uses tools of theoretical physics, including field theory, stochastic process theory, and simulation.
