Laboratory of The oretical Quantum Physics
Exploring the frontiers of quantum physics
It is necessary to design nanoscale structures (atom and molecule levels) while making quantum or next-generation nano devices. To realize the desired properties, it is essential to build up theories based on quantum mechanics. Based on such theories, our laboratory is establishing guidelines to control existing properties and predict the emergence of new properties and phenomena. We are constantly conducting mutually beneficial joint researches with other entities engaged in experiments.
