Striking
advances in nanotechnology, materials
science and ultrafast physics are being made
regularly in the world today, often ushering
in new physical processes. We are boldly
riding this scientific wave of the 21st
century to investigate phenomena with
practical applications ranging from
microscopic scales down to molecular and
atomic scales.
During the
Masters and Doctoral courses, subjects
concerned with matter, electrons, light and
sound, as well as the physical properties
generated from their interactions, are
investigated thanks to state-of-the-art
technologies such as ultralow temperatures
and femtosecond optics.
These
courses also involve fundamental
investigations into materials and
structures. The aim is to facilitate the
development of new fields by fusing a series
of lecture courses with creative research
activities.
These
courses thus deepen the student’s insight
into a variety of fundamental and applied
physical topics. The student can also
conduct creative research and development in
academic and/or technological fields based
on an involvement in leading-edge science
and technology.
The goal is
to produce internationally-minded scientists
and researchers who will go on to play major
roles in their scientific or technological
field.

Solid State Physics
(1) Theory of electron
transport in semiconductor heterostructures, in
particular, nonlinear transport exhibiting temporal and
spatial variations.
(2)
Theoretical study on transport and
optical properties of low-dimensional systems: carbon
nanotubes, graphene, and semiconductor quantum

Ultrafast Quantum Optics
Optical science and
technology, including the development of new ultrafast
laser and x-ray sources and the application of these
light sources to new experiments in physics, chemistry,
materials science and engineering. Our projects involve
generating “laser-like” beams of short wavelength light
in the XUV (extreme ultraviolet) region under conditions
of highly nonlinear interaction between a laser field
and atoms.
