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)
Quantum and Ultrafast Optoelectronics Unit
Our Unit studies how quantum and hybrid materials respond to light and convert, transport, and store energy, aiming to uncover new optoelectronic principles.
Taketo Handa
Assistant Professor (Transitional)
Qubits and Spacetime Unit
The Qubits and Spacetime Unit explores quantum properties of spacetime
Philipp Höhn
Associate 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
Associate Professor
Sensory and Behavioural Neuroscience Unit
Our goal is to find how the brain supports complex and adaptive behaviour, that is crucial for animals' success. We investigate this using olfaction in rodents, through study of neural circuit analyses - both local and long-range - in a variety of behavioural contexts.
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
Professor
