Takuro Ideguchi, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Ideguchi Lab studies new spectroscopy and imaging (microscopy) technologies that use ultrashort pulse lasers. The lab aims to deeply understand the physics of light and to create simple, elegant photonic and quantum technologies. The technologies it develops are applied to research in a wide range of fields, including physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine, and the lab also works to put them to practical use in society. The lab also places importance on training people who will be active internationally through research.
Taro Nakajima, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Nakajima Lab studies the properties of solids using neutron scattering. Neutrons are particles that carry no electric charge but have spin, so they can reveal both the positions of atoms and the arrangement of magnetism inside a material. Because neutrons cannot be produced in a university laboratory, the lab travels to facilities in Tokai Village, Ibaraki Prefecture, such as the JRR-3 research reactor and the J-PARC high-intensity proton accelerator facility, to carry out experiments. The lab searches for unusual magnetic orders in which neighboring spins are arranged at an angle to one another, and for the phenomena that arise from them.
Kimura Takashi, Associate Professor
Imaging & Sensing0 student voices
The Kimura Lab develops microscopic imaging technologies that use X-rays. X-rays have much shorter wavelengths than visible light and high penetrating power, so they can be used to examine fine structures and internal features that cannot be seen by eye. Using ultra-precision fabrication techniques, the lab makes optical elements for X-rays, and together with collaborators it assembles optical systems at large synchrotron radiation facilities such as SPring-8 and SACLA. The lab aims to create measurement methods that can be applied to any target, whether materials, devices, or living organisms.
Yukio Hasegawa, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Hasegawa Lab uses scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy to study material surfaces at the atomic scale. A sharp needle is brought extremely close to a surface, and the tunneling current that flows is used to measure surface topography and electronic states. The lab works on two-dimensional superconductivity at surfaces, unconventional superconductivity, the magnetic structure of magnetic thin films, and measurement of spin flow. The lab also puts great effort into developing microscopes that operate in special environments, such as ultralow temperatures, strong magnetic fields, and under microwave irradiation.
Kobayashi Yohei, Professor
Fluids & Heat0 student voices
The Kobayashi Lab conducts research and development on cutting-edge lasers, as well as applied research that uses them. Its research style is to pioneer spectroscopic methods that did not exist before by freely designing and building lasers. The optical frequency comb emerged from the fusion of two technologies: one that increases spectral purity and one that shortens pulses to the extreme. Applications span a wide range of fields, from combs for optical lattice clocks to photoelectron spectroscopy using vacuum ultraviolet light and building the scientific foundations of laser processing.
Akira Furukawa, Associate Professor
Fluids & Heat0 student voices
The Complex Fluid Physics Lab studies physical phenomena that appear in colloids, granular materials, bacteria, glasses, and more. Its subjects range widely, from everyday materials to cutting-edge materials and living systems, and their nonlinear, nonequilibrium behavior still poses problems that are not yet well understood. The main approach is numerical simulation, and the lab also uses molecular dynamics and fluid simulations that incorporate machine learning and GPUs. The lab also has experimental equipment such as rheometers and confocal microscopes, and plans to develop research that connects simulation and experiment.
Naoya Kanazawa, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kanazawa Lab studies new quantum states that appear on material surfaces and phenomena that occur at interfaces. At interfaces joining various solid, liquid, and gas materials, the lab investigates out-of-equilibrium physical phenomena and chemical reactions. By designing the exchange of particles, information, and energy at interfaces, the lab reproduces functions seen in information technology and living systems inside nanodevices. The lab is a new research group established at the Institute of Industrial Science in April 2023.
Satoshi Ashihara, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Ashihara Lab develops methods to measure and control the quantum states of matter using ultrashort-pulse lasers and nano-optics. Light shakes the electrons and nuclei inside matter with its electric and magnetic fields, which makes it a tool for observing and manipulating the microscopic world. An ultrashort-pulse laser is a superposition of light at many frequencies, and the phase and polarization at each frequency provide degrees of freedom for measurement and control. Applications are expected across a wide range, from highly sensitive detection of atoms and molecules and control of chemical reactions and phase transitions, to new principles for ultrafast electronics.
Jun Yoneda, Associate Professor
Semiconductors & Electronic Devices0 student voices
The Yoneda Lab uses semiconductor quantum dots microfabricated at the nanoscale to study the quantum nature of electron spins in solids. The lab uses techniques to precisely control and measure the spins of one to a few electrons confined in quantum dots. It pursues the physics of quantum coherence and entanglement in solid-state electron systems, aiming for applications in quantum technologies such as silicon quantum computers. The lab is a new one, established in October 2024.
Kosuke Yoshioka, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Yoshioka Lab conducts research on precisely observing and controlling matter using highly controlled laser light. Its current main projects include cooling and precision spectroscopy of gases of positronium and neutral carbon atoms, and Bose-Einstein condensation of excitons. Through the science of light, the lab aims to solve mysteries of physics and to develop technologies that will benefit future society. The lab places importance on building experimental equipment by hand, and makes its own laser sources and control circuits.
