The Elementary Particle Theory Lab (Particle Theory Group) mainly studies two areas: field theory on the lattice, and field theory and string theory. The lab's website presents its research and also hosts annual reports, seminars, and past master's and doctoral theses. It also has pages for students, covering the daily life of graduate and fourth-year undergraduate students, a field theory minimum, and recommended reading.

The Theoretical Astrophysics Lab aims to understand, from fundamental physics, everything from the birth of the first stars and galaxies to galaxy clusters, black holes, and the formation and evolution of stars and planetary systems. A distinctive feature of the lab's research is that it works with the radiative transfer equation and the relativistic radiation hydrodynamics equations, which incorporate the interaction between matter and light. Alongside analytical studies, the lab carries out its research with large-scale numerical simulations on the supercomputers of the Center for Computational Sciences.

The Nuclear Theory Lab studies, through theory and computation, the properties of atomic nuclei, which are made up of protons and neutrons bound together. A major goal is to understand the various properties of nuclei in terms of quantum theory, starting from the degrees of freedom of nucleons. To explore the origin of the elements, the lab also investigates, through theory and computation, the structure and reactions of unstable nuclei, which do not exist in nature. Noting that protons and neutrons and the electrons in matter are all fermions, the lab also studies the quantum dynamics of electrons arising from the interaction between light and matter.

The lab conducts theoretical research in condensed matter physics. Using analytic, so-called topological methods as well as numerical methods, it carries out research across a wide range of fields. The lab believes that new physical principles, mechanisms, and structures lie hidden within matter, and aims to uncover the as-yet-unrevealed "structure of nature." In recent years, its main work has been to generalize the concept of bulk-edge correspondence, which arose from the study of topological phases, and to universalize it broadly as the "science of bulk-edge correspondence."
Nobuhiko Taniguchi, Associate Professor

Taniguchi Lab is a condensed matter theory lab that theoretically studies the quantum properties of nanoscale systems. It studies quantum transport phenomena in semiconductor nanostructures, nonequilibrium quantum thermodynamics of nanoscale quantum systems, quantum chaos, and quantum phase transitions. Using a variety of methods from statistical mechanics and quantum field theory, the lab examines the quantum properties of mesoscopic and nanostructured systems from many angles. Its interests are broad, ranging from theoretical research closely tied to semiconductor experiments and applications to related problems in mathematical physics.
Minoru Otani, Professor

Otani-Hagiwara Lab aims to elucidate the properties of materials at the microscopic level using computational physics methods, including first-principles electronic structure calculations. Members each pursue independent topics, such as electrochemical interfaces, solid surfaces and interfaces, and ion conduction in solid electrolytes. The lab also works on research that combines data science with first-principles calculations. On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name "Computational Quantum Condensed Matter Group."
Mina Maruyama, Associate Professor

The Nanostructure Materials Physics Lab uses a variety of theoretical methods to explore the physical properties of nanoscale materials such as fullerenes and nanotubes, and to carry out materials design of novel nanostructured materials. Its news section lists published papers on topics such as nanoscrolls, hexagonal boron nitride, and five-membered-ring carbon networks. The news section of the lab's website states that Maruyama Lab (Nanostructure Materials Physics Lab) was newly established in April 2026.

The Experimental Particle Physics Lab aims to use experiments to uncover the nature of elementary particles, the basic building blocks of the universe, and the interactions that act between them. The lab pursues its research through three approaches: precision measurement of neutrino oscillations, high-energy particle collisions, and searches for extremely rare phenomena. Alongside physics analysis, members also develop the high-performance detectors and electronics used in the experiments themselves.

The Observational Astronomy Lab studies the structure of the Milky Way, star-forming regions, external galaxies, supermassive black holes, and distant galaxies through telescope observations. The lab aims to build a 10 m-class terahertz telescope in the interior of Antarctica, the best site on Earth for observation, to observe objects such as distant "dark galaxies" that cannot be seen in visible light. The lab also uses the ALMA radio interferometer, the Nobeyama 45 m telescope, and the James Webb Space Telescope.

The High-Energy Nuclear Experiment Group studies quark-gluon plasma (QGP) through heavy-ion collision experiments, in which atomic nuclei are collided with each other at high energy. The lab participates as a member in the PHENIX experiment at RHIC at Brookhaven National Laboratory in the United States, and in the LHC-ALICE experiment at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN). The creation of QGP was confirmed at RHIC, and the group's research results are described as having been a major contribution to this. The lab's website presents it under the name "High-Energy Nuclear Experiment Group."
