Takasada Shibauchi, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Shibauchi-Ishida Lab studies the many unusual states that electrons show inside materials. In materials where electrons strongly influence one another, the quantum nature of the electrons comes to the fore and new states called "quantum phases" emerge. Through experiments, the lab investigates superconductors (materials in which electrical resistance vanishes) that conventional theory cannot explain, as well as new types of phase transitions. The "qpm" in the lab's website address stands for Quantum Phases of Matter.
Eiji Saitoh, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
Saitoh Lab studies condensed matter physics broadly, centered on spintronics, which uses the electron's "spin." Using a wide range of experimental methods, from lasers to measurements at extremely low temperatures, together with theory, the lab investigates the physics of spin currents. Building on the spin Seebeck effect discovered in the lab, it is also pursuing research on a new principle for generating electricity from heat. The lab values both the beauty of physics and practical application, and in addition to creating fundamental principles, it also files patents.
Ishizaka Kyoko, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Ishizaka Lab develops measurement techniques that combine light (lasers and synchrotron radiation) with electrons, and uses them to clarify the properties of materials and create new functions. The lab mainly uses photoemission spectroscopy, which analyzes the electrons emitted when light strikes a material and directly reveals properties such as the energy and spin of the electrons inside it. The lab develops its own state-of-the-art measurement instruments and works closely with researchers who synthesize samples and researchers in theory. By combining femtosecond lasers with electron diffraction, the lab has also become able to observe ultrafast atomic motion occurring inside materials.
Zongping Gong, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Gong Lab studies nonequilibrium physics from a theoretical perspective. The lab mainly explores exotic phases of matter that emerge out of equilibrium, as well as the universal laws underlying nonequilibrium dynamics. Its research spans the boundaries between a wide range of fields, including statistical mechanics, condensed matter physics, quantum information, quantum optics, and mathematical physics. In addition to clarifying fundamental theory, the lab also works on connections to experiments and the potential for practical applications.
Atsushi Tsukazaki, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Tsukazaki Lab fabricates thin films and the interfaces of stacked thin-film structures in-house, and studies their properties. The lab has established techniques for forming high-quality interfaces in oxide heterostructures, and has extended its research to thin films of topological materials. Using techniques for growing thin films in ultra-high vacuum, the lab focuses on quantum transport phenomena, typified by the quantum Hall effect. Recently, it has also been working on superconductivity in nickel oxides and on thin-film interfaces of layered semiconductors.
Shinichiro Seki, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Seki Lab studies new behaviors of electrons, starting from the creation of new materials. Focusing on geometric properties of materials such as topology and symmetry, the lab searches for materials in which electrons feel enormous “emergent electromagnetic fields.” The lab measures material properties using small devices made by microfabrication, aiming for functions that lead to information processing with extremely low power consumption and sensing with very high sensitivity.
Yoshinori Tokura, Distinguished Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Tokura Lab studies strongly correlated electron systems, materials in which electrons strongly influence one another, and works to discover new electronic states in them. In these materials, electronic properties such as charge, spin, and orbital are strongly pronounced, giving rise to a wide range of phenomena including high-temperature superconductivity. Alongside studying solid-state physics and reviewing the literature, students carry out experimental research that includes synthesizing samples and measuring their physical properties.
Shota Suetsugu, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Suetsugu Lab studies quantum phenomena arising from topological properties in strongly correlated electron systems, where electrons interact strongly with one another. Materials that combine topology, the study of geometric properties, with electron correlations are a treasure trove of new quantum phenomena. The lab pursues its research on two pillars: precision measurements at extremely low temperatures and materials design through sample synthesis.
Akira Furusawa, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Furusawa Lab uses methods from quantum optics to research optical quantum computers, which carry information on waves of light to perform computation. The core technology is "quantum teleportation," which transfers a quantum state intact to another location. Prof. Furusawa and colleagues were the first in the world to succeed in this experiment, and the lab is now working toward a quantum computer that can be used for any computation and can also correct errors. The lab's work ranges from experiments that verify theory and principles to the integration of optical circuits with a view to practical use.
Murakami Shuichi, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Murakami Lab studies, from a theoretical standpoint, new phenomena that appear in the various properties of materials (condensed matter physics). Looking at a wide range of systems, from quantum to classical, with a flexible perspective, the lab aims to find universal laws and open new fields where no research exists yet. The lab's main research method is analytical calculation using models. Its work ranges from research on specific materials to building frameworks for condensed matter theory and mathematical physics.
