Hiroki Tsuchiura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Tsuchiura Lab (Quantum Computational Materials Science Division) theoretically studies the properties of superconductors and magnetic materials with topological quantum states, and the new functions that can be built on them. Building on methods from theoretical physics and quantum computation, the lab also uses first-principles calculations and data-science approaches. It is a new lab, established in October 2023.
Hiroaki Matsueda, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsueda Lab (Quantum Information Physics Division) theoretically studies difficult problems in physics and mathematical science, centered on entanglement (quantum entanglement) and the holographic principle. Its work on quantum problems is broad, ranging from research that reconstructs theoretical physics through the ideas of quantum information to theories concerning the observation and control of entanglement in systems where many quanta are entangled. In applied research such as electronic properties of materials, quantum computers, and artificial intelligence, the lab holds that understanding how these work requires knowledge of quantum physics, and it collaborates with researchers in different specialties. The lab welcomes students who want to pursue challenging research that crosses these fields.
Naoki Takeuchi, Professor

The Takeuchi Lab (Physical Information Circuits Division) studies ultra-low-power electronics that approach physical limits. The background to this research is the rapid growth in ICT power consumption driven by the spread of AI and IoT. At the core is the adiabatic quantum-flux-parametron (AQFP), a superconducting logic element with extremely low energy consumption. Based on AQFP, the lab develops superconducting quantum computers, adiabatic reversible computers, and more.
Yuzuru Miyazaki, Professor

The Miyazaki-Hayashi Lab develops thermoelectric materials, which generate electricity from heat that is otherwise wasted all around us. The key to developing thermoelectric materials is the crystal structure, which describes how the elements in a material are arranged. The lab analyzes crystal structures with high precision through diffraction experiments using X-rays, synchrotron X-rays, and neutron beams, and uses the results to develop new thermoelectric materials. Besides thermoelectric materials, the lab also develops superconductors, ion battery materials, solar cell materials, and dielectrics.
Taro Yamashita, Professor
0 student voices
The Yamashita Lab, in the field of low-temperature and superconductivity physics, works on creating new quantum devices and quantum circuits using superconductors, magnetic materials, and its own technologies that combine the two. Its main research themes are superconducting quantum computers, hybrid quantum devices of superconductors and magnetic materials, and superconducting single-photon detectors. The lab also works on discovering new high-temperature superconducting materials.
Shuichi Nakamura, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Nakamura Lab studies how microorganisms such as bacteria move in tiny fluid environments dominated by viscosity and thermal fluctuations. Its main subject is the flagellum, a rotary molecular motor 45 nanometers in diameter that drives bacterial movement. Using high-precision imaging and optical tweezers, among other techniques, the lab investigates microscale energy conversion, synchronization phenomena, and the mechanical properties of cells. The lab also studies infection by pathogenic bacteria using AI-based image analysis.
Madoka Ono, Professor
0 student voices
The Ono Lab studies materials for generating and transmitting photonic quantum states used in applications such as quantum cryptographic communication. Its main subject is glass. Because glass has a random structure, it is less prone to features such as grain boundaries that scatter light, which makes it well suited to manipulating light. The lab creates materials with new optical functions by suppressing fluctuations of the structure inside materials or, conversely, deliberately inducing them. It is a new lab that started in April 2023.
Najundra Chauhan, Associate Professor

The International Excellence Materials Lab is a lab whose research fields are thermoelectric materials and energy materials. Its research fields include materials such as Half-Heusler compounds, silicides, Zintl compounds, chalcogenides, and SiGe alloys. Phase transitions, nanoscale phenomena, and semiconductors are also included in its research fields. The faculty member is Associate Professor Najundra Chauhan.
Satoshi Awaji, Professor
0 student voices
The High Field Laboratory for Superconducting Materials (Awaji Lab) advances research on high magnetic fields using advanced superconducting materials and cryogen-free superconducting magnet technology. It is an affiliated facility of the Institute for Materials Research, Tohoku University, and serves as a base for fundamental and applied research on new substances and materials, including magnetic materials and superconductors. Equipped with high-field devices such as hybrid magnets and cryogen-free superconducting magnets, as well as experimental equipment for investigating substances and materials in high magnetic fields, it makes them available for joint use by users both inside and outside the institute. The center states that cryogen-free superconducting magnets will play an important role in addressing the helium depletion problem and realizing a low-carbon society.
Satoshi Okamoto, Professor
0 student voices
The Okamoto Lab focuses its research on understanding and controlling magnetic functions at the nanoscale. Ferromagnets are widely used in information and communications, electronic components, motors, and generators, and the diverse functions of these magnetic devices all arise from spin behavior at the nanoscale. A recording technology that controls spin behavior in the microwave frequency range is expected to dramatically increase the recording density of hard disks. The lab also studies methods for controlling the magnetization state at particle surfaces in permanent magnet materials, which are essential for high-performance motors in electric vehicles.
