Shun Okumura, Project Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Okumura Lab theoretically studies a wide range of physical phenomena in strongly correlated electron systems, where degrees of freedom such as charge, spin, and orbital are intertwined. The lab builds models of phenomena inside materials and uncovers their properties through analytical and numerical calculations. The lab also actively pursues collaborations with experimental groups, aiming to realize in experiments the phenomena it proposes in theory.
Motohiko Ezawa, Lecturer
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Ezawa Lab theoretically studies the properties of materials in which topology and quantum mechanics play a role. Its subjects include atomic-layer materials such as silicene, graphene, and skyrmions in magnetic materials. Following the principle of "from the fundamentals of physics to the proposal of devices," the lab has also proposed devices such as a topological quantum transistor that is switched by an electric field.
Yuto Moritake, Associate Professor
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
The Moritake Lab studies nanophotonics, in which artificial structures as small as the wavelength of light are fabricated to control light freely. Using structures known as metasurfaces and photonic crystals, the lab explores new optical physics and new optical functions. Lab members carry out every step themselves, from physics and optics theory and numerical simulation to device fabrication by microfabrication and optical measurements. Each member has a separate research theme and can pursue it at their own discretion.
Maiko Kofu, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kofu Lab directs neutrons at materials to study the motion of atoms, molecules, and spins inside them. Neutrons are well suited to observing light elements such as hydrogen, as well as spins, and provide information that X-rays cannot. Experiments are carried out mainly at the JRR-3 research reactor and the J-PARC accelerator facility in Tokai, Ibaraki Prefecture, and sometimes at facilities overseas. Graduate students usually work at the Kashiwa Campus, where they carry out measurements such as X-ray diffraction and heat capacity, and analyze the data.
Mamoru Endo, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Endo Lab designs and develops its own laser light sources, and uses them to study the quantum world of light and new physics. The lab does not treat lasers as equipment that is simply provided; it starts by building the optimal light source for each purpose. With the light sources it builds, the lab creates the special quantum states of light needed for optical quantum computers, and extends its research to the interaction between light and matter. This is a newly established lab at the Institute for Solid State Physics, and it accepts graduate students.
Ryohei Kobayashi, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kobayashi Lab studies, through theory, quantum many-body systems (the quantum states formed by large numbers of particles) and the foundations of error correction for quantum computers. In particular, the lab takes “symmetry” as its guiding principle and aims to systematically understand the fundamental properties of quantum many-body systems and error-correcting codes. Its themes are broadly connected, ranging from abstract theory such as symmetry and field theory to lattice models, quantum error-correcting codes, and quantum computation.
Kazuaki Takasan, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
Takasan Lab studies how to understand and control nonequilibrium phases of matter that arise in quantum many-body systems. The lab belongs to the field of condensed matter theory and computational physics in the Department of Applied Physics. The lab sees the real appeal of research in using ideas as a weapon to open up new worlds that no one has yet seen. The lab wants to share the joy of studying and doing physics with its students.
Ryutaro Yoshimi, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Yoshimi Lab fabricates thin films of solid-state materials, as well as interfaces between stacked dissimilar materials, and studies their properties. It focuses in particular on "topological" properties that arise from the symmetry of the band structure and magnetic structure. Using a method called molecular beam epitaxy, the lab arranges atoms in an ordered fashion on a substrate to grow high-quality crystals with few defects. Newly established in the Department of Advanced Materials Science, the lab accepts undergraduate thesis students from the Department of Applied Physics in the Faculty of Engineering.
Shinichi Nishihaya, Lecturer
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Nishihaya Lab uses advanced crystal growth techniques to control the structure and symmetry of materials, and studies the new electronic properties that result. Using thin films whose thickness is controlled at the atomic level, and "membranes" made by peeling those films off their substrates, the lab changes material properties through stacking and fine nanofabrication. Through precise electrical measurements and other methods, the lab aims to uncover phenomena where topology and quantum effects intersect, and to connect them to device functionality. The lab is newly established at the Quantum-Phase Electronics Center, which is affiliated with the Graduate School of Engineering.
