Masaya Notomi, Professor
1 student voices
The Notomi Lab studies the physics of optical properties of matter based on nanophotonics. Using nanostructures smaller than the wavelength of light, the lab aims to create new optical properties that cannot be realized with materials found in nature. The lab covers the whole process in-house, from nanostructure design and theoretical analysis to fabrication and optical measurement. Prof. Notomi also concurrently leads a research team at NTT Basic Research Laboratories, and the lab works closely with NTT's research laboratories.
Toshimasa Fujisawa, Professor
1 student voices
The Fujisawa Lab studies the behavior (dynamics) of electrons in semiconductor nanostructures. By controlling electrons in artificially designed structures, the lab investigates the quantum ways in which electric current flows that are unique to low-dimensional electron systems. The lab also aims to extend this work to nanotechnology and quantum information technology. Newly assigned students first learn basic knowledge and experimental techniques through measurement training, and then choose their own research topics.
Toru Hirahara, Professor
1 student voices
Hirahara Lab experimentally studies the physical properties and functions that appear when materials are thinned to a few atomic layers, and ultimately to a single layer. The lab carefully builds thin films by stacking atoms one layer at a time, and measures in detail the arrangement of atoms, the states of electrons, and electrical and magnetic properties. The lab's style is to investigate the samples it makes itself thoroughly, "from cradle to grave." In addition to experiments on campus, the lab also travels to synchrotron radiation facilities such as SPring-8 and UVSOR to carry out experiments.
Osamu Jinnouchi, Professor
1 student voices
The Jinnouchi Lab uses high-energy particle physics experiments to search for unknown new particles and for new physics beyond the framework of current particle theory. Using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, the lab aims to discover physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Doctoral students stay at CERN for medium to long periods to analyze data, while master's students work on detector research based at the university. Lab visits are accepted at any time.
Kentaro Somiya, Professor
1 student voices
The Somiya Lab researches the development of key component technologies for gravitational-wave telescopes and tests of quantum mechanics in macroscopic objects. Gravitational waves, predicted by Einstein, are ripples in spacetime, and detecting them requires measuring extremely small changes in distance. At KAGRA, the gravitational-wave telescope in the Kamioka mine in Gifu Prefecture, the lab has been in charge of the design of the entire interferometer. The lab is also pursuing ASPIRE, a Japan-Australia exchange program that aims to build a high-frequency gravitational-wave telescope using quantum control.
Tomohiro Sasamoto, Professor
1 student voices
Sasamoto Lab studies the properties of nonequilibrium many-body systems and aims to uncover the principles behind them. The lab's subjects are systems in which many particles gather and are in a state away from equilibrium. Fluctuations and randomness are the key concepts of the research. Research on nonequilibrium systems is a field that has advanced greatly in recent years, in both theory and experiment.
Shuichi Murakami, Program-Specific Professor
1 student voices
Murakami Lab studies, from a theoretical standpoint, phenomena in which quantum mechanical effects appear as properties of a material as a whole. The central topic is the physics of the flow of electron spin (spin current), which is also attracting attention for its applications in spintronics. The spin Hall effect, in which a spin current arises perpendicular to an applied electric field, was confirmed in experiments after the lab's theoretical prediction. By exploring principles shared by seemingly quite different things, such as electrons and light, the lab aims to predict new phenomena.
Ryo Hanai, Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Hanai Lab theoretically studies phenomena that appear in "nonequilibrium" many-body systems driven from the outside. In nonequilibrium systems, the principle of free-energy minimization that holds for matter in thermal equilibrium does not hold in general. In particular, the lab focuses on "nonreciprocal" interactions that break the law of action and reaction, and explores physics common to systems ranging from ecosystems to electrons in solids. The lab deals with a wide range of subjects, from artificial quantum systems such as ultracold atomic gases to active matter and living systems.
Motohide Kokubun, Program-Specific Associate Professor
1 student voices
The Kokubun Lab is the lab of Prof. Kokubun, who is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), JAXA, and also a Specially Appointed Associate Professor in the Department of Physics at Institute of Science Tokyo. The lab's research takes place at JAXA's Institute of Space and Astronautical Science in Sagamihara, Kanagawa Prefecture. The lab has long been involved in developing X-ray and gamma-ray observation instruments that capture high-energy phenomena in the universe, and recently it has been working on experiments that use lasers and balloons to test general relativity with high precision.
Masayuki Ohzeki, Professor
0 student voices
The Ohzeki Lab draws on mathematical science and physics to study problems in information science theoretically. The lab aims to develop statistical mechanics of information, advance quantum machine learning, and apply quantum computing. It also works on founding startups, collaborating with them, and pursuing industry-academia collaboration with large companies. The lab is part of the Graduate School of Information Sciences at Tohoku University. At Institute of Science Tokyo, students can join it from the fourth year of undergraduate study or from graduate school by applying to the Department of Physics in the School of Science.
