Tetsuo Kishimoto, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Kishimoto Lab uses cooled atomic gases to conduct experiments on Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). The lab plans to pursue the development of a method for producing BECs continuously and the study of quantized vortices that form when a BEC is rotated. As an experimental lab, it builds on laser technology to help members acquire a broad range of skills in optics, circuits, control systems, vacuum systems, and fabrication. Bachelor's and master's thesis titles include the development of light sources used for laser cooling of rubidium-87 atoms.
Hiroki Saito
0 student voices
The Saito Lab uses computer simulation to study quantum fluid dynamics and the application of machine learning to physics. Quantum fluids, such as superfluids and Bose-Einstein condensates, are unusual fluids that have no viscosity and form quantized vortices, in which each vortex line is discrete. In its machine learning research, the lab uses neural networks and similar methods to solve problems in quantum mechanics. The lab's website says it suits students who are good at programming, but that students who are motivated can achieve results even if they lack confidence.
Takahiro Muranaka, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Muranaka Lab (Superconducting Materials Science Lab) conducts research with the goal of developing new superconductors. It approaches the development of new materials through a cycle of materials design, materials synthesis, and property evaluation, in which the evaluation results are fed back into design and synthesis. Its specific goal is to discover new superconducting materials whose superconducting transition temperature is as high as possible, up to room temperature. The lab wants everyone to see themselves as a researcher from the moment they become involved in research, and to learn and experience the joy of research and experiments.
Kazuyuki Matsubayashi, Professor
0 student voices
The Matsubayashi Lab experimentally investigates new phenomena shown by electrons in materials, in environments that combine high pressure, ultralow temperature, and high magnetic fields. In a material, many electrons crowd together, and a variety of cooperative phenomena arise from the electrons' charge, magnetic, and orbital degrees of freedom. The lab studies the behavior of electrons under high pressure in systems such as excitonic insulators, heavy-fermion superconductors, and quantum critical phenomena. Lab visits are accepted at any time.
Daisuke Kuwahara, Professor
0 student voices
The Kuwahara Lab conducts research on solid-state NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance). The lab uses solid-state NMR to study the structure and dynamics of materials. The lab has also published a paper on ionic liquids made of metal complexes. Prof. Kuwahara serves as director of the Research Facilities Center.
Toru Morishita
0 student voices
The Morishita Lab studies problems in atomic, molecular, and optical physics using theory and numerical computation. The lab investigates the ultrafast, attosecond-scale motion of atoms and molecules in intense laser fields. Another theme is the study of many-body effects that appear in the Bose-Einstein condensation of gaseous atoms. Using high-precision numerical computation and mathematical-science methods, the lab aims for a fundamental understanding of complex physical phenomena and for control of quantum systems.
Makoto Morinaga
0 student voices
The Morinaga Lab studies quantum physics and quantum electronics. Its work includes developing single-photon sources using optical fibers, atom optics, which uses atomic waves instead of light, and precision spectroscopy and laser cooling of hydrogen atoms. The lab pursues its research on hydrogen atoms in collaboration with the Katsuragawa Lab, the Ohae Lab, and the Iwakuni Lab. The lab accepts lab visits at any time.
Akihiko Ikeda, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Ikeda Lab studies how matter changes in extremely strong magnetic fields, aiming to clarify the role that magnetic fields play in the world. To generate strong magnetic fields, the lab builds its own pulsed magnetic field equipment, which creates a field by sending a large current through a coil in an instant. Using this equipment, the lab investigates phase transitions and changes in crystal structure in solid oxygen and strongly correlated electron systems. The lab's website says that even students can aim to achieve a new world-best result.
Ryosuke Shimizu, Professor
0 student voices
The Shimizu Lab does experimental research on generating and controlling light as individual particles (photons). In the regime of extremely weak light, where the quantum nature of light appears prominently, the lab develops techniques for generating, controlling, and detecting photons. Using quantum connections between photons, the lab aims to reveal unknown properties of light and to apply them to quantum measurement and sensing and to optical quantum information and communication. Research on optical quantum information and communication is carried out jointly with the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT).
Hidetomo Usui, Associate Professor
0 student voices
The Usui Lab studies condensed matter theory focused on electronic states in solids. The keyword of its research is "theory-driven materials design," and one of its major goals is to propose new functional materials that have not yet been discovered. Its current targets are "superconductivity" and "thermoelectric effects," and the lab clarifies physical phenomena through computer simulations. The lab communicates closely with researchers who mainly do experiments, and even students with no programming experience can learn Python in the lab's rotating textbook-reading sessions.
