Experimental Particle Physics
We know that matter is composed of things like quarks and other subatomic particles. But what are subatomic particles composed of? Using a large particle accelerator, research here tries to answer questions like this.

- Quantum Many-Body Physics Laboratory
Theory of condensed matter physics, Theory of atomic, molecular, and optical physics, Theory of quantum control
In condensed matter systems, such as electrons in solids and liquid helium, competitions and/or collaborations of quantum nature and interparticle interactions lead to various interesting phenomena, including superfluidity, superconductivity, quantum phase transitions, and many-body localization. We develop theoretical methods describing quantum many-body systems, aiming to discover novel quantum many-body effects.

- Molecular Physics and Quantum Chemistry
Physical Chemistry and Chemistry of Nanostructures
Laser ablated polyenes and fullerenes are studied by molecular spectroscopy and quantum chemistry. With experimental and theoretical knowledges on stability and structures of carbon molecules, microscopic views of high-temperature molecular processes are discussed.

Theoretical Physics, Quantum Field Theory, Elementary Particle Physics
The most elementary objects in nature, called "elementary particles", are described by the theory named as "quantum field theory". In quantum field theory, the existence of particles is itself uncertain and the particles can emerge from the vacuum and can disappear too. In our Lab., we investigate the ways of analyzing quantum field theory and apply them to realistic phenomena in order to obtain deeper understanding of the nature.
