Shuntaro Takeda, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Takeda Lab studies optical quantum computers and their applications. By exploiting properties unique to quanta of light, it is possible to realize quantum computers that operate at room temperature and in ambient air, with a high clock rate. The lab is advancing the development of optical quantum computers through its own original approach, and is also exploring practical applications that use this technology. Using quanta of light also opens up possibilities for communication and measurement that go beyond conventional technologies.
Masato Koashi, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Koashi Lab studies quantum information and quantum optics, fields where quantum theory and information science meet. By making good use of the strange behavior of physical systems governed by quantum mechanics, the lab opens paths toward highly secure optical communication and high-speed computation. Conversely, the lab also aims to re-examine quantum mechanics through the rigorous logic of information science and to approach the fundamental structure of the laws of nature.
Hidetoshi Katori, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Katori-Ushijima Lab explores the physics and engineering of spacetime using the "optical lattice clock," which was proposed in this lab. The optical lattice clock is an extremely precise atomic clock that is drawing attention as a leading candidate for the future redefinition of the second. By combining techniques for manipulating ultracold atoms and controlling lasers, the lab further improves the clock's precision and uses that precision to explore uncharted physics and applied technologies. The lab has bases at both the University of Tokyo and RIKEN, where members conceive and build experimental apparatus that exists nowhere else in the world.
Youtarou Takahashi, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
The Takahashi Lab conducts research in condensed matter physics using light. The lab focuses on the unique properties of materials discovered in recent materials science, and performs state-of-the-art optical measurements from the terahertz range to the ultraviolet. It aims to pioneer new optical functions and to understand the dynamics, meaning the motions occurring inside materials. Lab visits are accepted at any time.
Michihisa Yamamoto, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter1 student voices
Yamamoto Lab conducts research on building quantum electronic devices based on techniques for controlling and transmitting quantum degrees of freedom in solids. Its experiments include controlling, one electron at a time, the quantum states of electrons traveling through semiconductor microstructures, and transmitting and controlling new quantum degrees of freedom in atomically thin materials. The lab elucidates how quantum coherence spreads and the physics of quantum correlations, in order to establish guiding principles for quantum devices. The lab also aims to use advanced quantum technology to solve problems in condensed matter science from a microscopic perspective.
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.
