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.
Yuya Shimazaki, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Shimazaki Lab studies the electronic properties, optical responses, and quantum devices of heterostructures made by stacking semiconducting two-dimensional materials. In particular, it uses two-dimensional materials to design the strongly correlated electronic properties and quantum functionalities that electrons exhibit within moiré lattices, which arise from the interference of crystal lattices. Through precise electrical control and optical measurements, the lab reveals how these electrons behave. The lab conducts its research at the Institute for Solid State Physics, the University of Tokyo, and is also concurrently affiliated with the Department of Applied Physics in the Graduate School of Engineering.
Yoshiaki Sugimoto, Professor
Materials & Nanotech0 student voices
Sugimoto Lab conducts research using scanning probe microscopes, which can directly observe individual atoms. All matter is made of atoms, and its various properties are determined at the scale of nanometers, so techniques are needed to evaluate and control materials at the atomic level. The lab works on improving the resolution of microscopes, making it possible to measure the element and electronic state of individual atoms, and assembling nanostructures by moving atoms. By evaluating the properties of materials at the atomic scale and understanding the physics and chemistry behind them, the lab searches for new materials and devices based on new principles.
Yukitoshi Motome, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Motome Lab theoretically studies phase transitions and novel quantum properties caused by interactions among electrons moving inside materials. In "strongly correlated electron systems," where electrons repel each other strongly, a rich variety of properties appear that differ greatly from those of ordinary metals and semiconductors. Based on quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics, the lab combines first-principles calculations, model construction, and numerical simulation. Recently, the lab has also focused on developing methods that use machine learning and on condensed matter research.
Takahiro Sagawa, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
Sagawa-Funo Lab theoretically studies the area where physics meets information and computation. From the perspectives of nonequilibrium statistical mechanics and quantum information and quantum control, the lab explores the ultimate limits of how well matter can be controlled. Its goal is to clarify what kinds of computation and information-processing capabilities matter possesses. Recently, the lab has taken an interest in the nonequilibrium dynamics of isolated quantum many-body systems and their capacity for quantum computation.
