Our laboratory was newly established in April 2024.
We conduct experimental research on quantum many-body phenomena arising from the vast number of electrons and spins in solids. Specifically, we are interested in unconventional superconductivity including high-temperature superconductivity, heavy fermion states, quantum critical phenomena, quantum spin liquids, and topological phenomena. In strongly interacting quantum many-body systems, qualitatively new properties and phenomena can emerge that cannot be understood simply from the behavior of individual electrons or spins. This emergence of novel collective behavior is the inspiration behind the name of our lab, which emphasizes emergence.
Our aim is to explore and uncover new quantum phenomena and quantum states through cutting-edge experimental approaches.
Our laboratory is accepting applications from students who wish to enroll in the master's and doctoral programs.
Please feel free to contact us for a laboratory tour.
Our laboratory welcomes applications for JSPS Postdoctoral Fellowships.
