Junichi Tanaka, Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Tanaka Lab is an experimental particle physics lab that takes part in the ATLAS experiment at CERN. The lab analyzes large-scale data obtained from proton-proton collisions to look for clues to physics beyond the Standard Model. In addition to detector upgrades, the lab also carries out research and development in artificial intelligence and quantum computing, regardless of the experiment. The lab works as a group together with other ICEPP labs and with researchers and graduate students from ATLAS Japan.
Kyoichiro Ozawa, Associate Professor
Space, Particle Physics & Aerospace0 student voices
The Ozawa Lab conducts research aimed at discovering high-density quark matter and investigating its properties. Normally, quarks are confined inside hadrons such as protons and neutrons. In high-density states such as the interior of a neutron star, quarks are expected to be able to move freely, and various phases of matter are predicted to appear. To study the properties of this matter and the mechanism by which hadrons acquire mass when the phase changes, the lab carries out accelerator experiments that use atomic nuclei, among other things.
Takeo Kato, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kato Lab theoretically studies the properties of various kinds of quantum transport that occur in solids. Recently, the lab has focused mainly on mesoscopic systems and spintronics. Targeting phenomena involving electron-electron interactions and quantum mechanical interference, the lab calculates electrical conductance and noise and develops theories of nonequilibrium states. The lab also develops numerical methods, including quantum Monte Carlo calculations.
Yusuke Kato, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kato Lab specializes in condensed matter theory (quantum condensed matter physics) and studies phenomena that quantum mechanics produces inside materials. Its central themes are the physics of superconducting states, superfluids and supersolids, and the magnetism and transport phenomena of chiral materials. Superconductivity and superfluidity are prototype phenomena of quantum condensation and quantum many-body physics. The lab is located on the Komaba Campus and accepts graduate students from both the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and the Graduate School of Science.
Naoki Kawashima, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kawashima Lab uses large-scale parallel computers to solve many-body problems in a wide range of fields, including statistical mechanics and solid state physics. Many-body problems, in which numerous elements interact with one another, generally cannot be solved with pencil and paper alone. Just as experimentalists run experiments with large apparatus, the lab uses computers as instruments for "numerical experiments." Beyond solving problems, the lab also develops new computational methods themselves, such as quantum Monte Carlo methods and tensor network methods.
Kohei Kawabata, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kawabata Lab conducts research aimed at establishing new foundations for condensed matter theory. Until now, condensed matter physics has been built mainly around isolated equilibrium systems, which are cut off from their surroundings and in a state of balance. The lab focuses on nonequilibrium open systems, which continually exchange energy and particles with the outside, and theoretically explores the diverse phenomena that arise in them. Based on general concepts such as symmetry and topology, the lab builds fundamental theories that can explain and predict a wide range of experiments.
Kentaro Kitagawa, Associate Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kitagawa Lab experimentally searches for new electronic states of solids that emerge under ultrahigh pressure. The magnetic states of solids have barely been studied above several tens of thousands of atmospheres, because until now there has been no way to measure them. The lab combines high-pressure generation devices it develops in-house with measurement techniques based on light and magnetic resonance. A new lab that started in 2024, it is building its equipment from scratch as it carries out its research.
Koichi Kindo, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Kindo Lab uses pulsed high magnetic fields to develop non-destructive pulsed magnets that rank among the strongest in the world. All materials have magnetic properties (magnetism), although the strength varies from one material to another. Even a material with weak magnetism reveals this property when placed in a strong magnetic field. A high magnetic field acts like a microscope for examining a material's magnetism in detail. In the strong magnetic fields it generates, the lab measures how materials become magnetized and how their structures change, searching for unknown physical phenomena.
Hidefumi Akiyama, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Akiyama Lab studies the properties of materials related to light, including semiconductor lasers, solar cells, quantum nanostructures, and firefly bioluminescence. Using laser spectroscopy, microspectroscopy, optical measurement, semiconductor device fabrication, and crystal growth techniques, the lab approaches these topics from the standpoint of fundamental physics and science. Developing optical experiment techniques is also one of the lab's strengths, including techniques for detecting weak light with high sensitivity and for accurately measuring the amount of light. For topics such as firefly bioluminescence, the lab works jointly with experts in biology, chemistry, and theory, as well as with private companies.
Naomichi Hatano, Professor
Quantum & Condensed Matter0 student voices
The Hatano Lab focuses on the fundamental theory of condensed matter physics, statistical physics, and the foundations of quantum mechanics. Many phenomena around us arise from large numbers of degrees of freedom interacting with one another. The lab builds models that abstract such many-degree-of-freedom systems and, using statistical mechanics, field theory, and computer simulation, aims to reproduce real phenomena through theory. The lab does not fix specific research themes; its goal is research that opens up new fields.
