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
Representation Theory and Algebraic Combinatorics Unit
Our unit studies the representation theory of algebras via tools from algebraic combinatorics. Our study largely centres around the philosophy of decomposing representations.
Liron Speyer
Assistant Professor
Sensory and Behavioural Neuroscience Unit
We investigate the neurophysiology of olfaction to gain insights into how functions arise from neuronal interactions - both local and long-range.
Izumi Fukunaga
Associate 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
