DANSHITA Ippei
- Position
- Professor
- Laboratory
- 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.
YANO Yohko
- Position
- Professor
- Laboratory
- Biophysics Laboratory
Biophysics, Chemical Physics, Structural Chemistry
Protein comes in various complex structures in the body in order to perform its functions. On the other hand, it easily changes form and loses its functions. These structural changes are observed using the world’s brightest X-rays in order to understand the mechanisms behind the formation of protein structures.
TANAKA Senku
- Position
- Associate Professor
- Laboratory
- Organic Electronics Laboratory
Organic Electronics, Organic Solar Cells, Perovskite solar cell
Our goal is to produce an advanced electronic device using organic semiconductors. We focus on the development of organic solar cells and perovskite solar cells.
MASUI Takahiko
- Position
- Associate Professor

- Solid State Physics Laboratory
Condensed Matter Physics (experiments)
In the field of condensed matter physics, it’s possible to conduct research by creating one’s own specimens and measuring these. It is interesting in a completely different way than mega science. The goal here is to discover new physical phenomena and new matter, as well as solve long-debated mysteries of science.
