Quantum Gravity Unit
Curiosity-driven research on fundamental theoretical physics. Recent focus areas include higher-spin theory, de Sitter holography, black holes and asymptotic symmetries.
Yasha Neiman
Associate Professor
Quantum Machines Unit
We study in theory and experiments the engineering of quantum devices built from different subsystems that can collectively perform beyond the individual capabilities of their parts.
Jason Twamley
Professor
Quantum Materials Science Unit
We explore novel physics, leads to future nano-electronics and nano-spintronics, and design novel charge, spin, orbital, and/or phonon states in a variety of engineered quantum materials.
Yoshinori Okada
Associate Professor
Quantum Systems Unit
We study synthetic few- and many-body systems made from ultra-cold atomic gases and develop methods to quantify, control, and engineer their properties and their dynamics.
Thomas Busch
Dean of Graduate School and Professor, Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST)
Qubits and Spacetime Unit
The Qubits and Spacetime Unit explores quantum properties of spacetime
Philipp Höhn
Assistant Professor
Solar-Terrestrial Environment and Climate Unit
The Solar-Terrestrial Environment and Climate Unit conducts research to enhance our understanding of the Sun, its surrounding environment, and their impacts on Earth’s climate and weather.
Hiroko Miyahara
Associate Professor
Theory of Quantum Matter Unit
The Theory of Quantum Matter (TQM) Unit carries out research into a wide range of problems in condensed matter and statistical physics.
Nic Shannon
