Outline

Our group aims to increase understanding of various quantum phenomena through observations using the world's-highest-brightness electron beam, and to explore the forefront of a new research field: quantum-wave science. At the same time, we aim to propose innovative materials and devices based on the principles of quantum mechanics by the combined effects of three factors: experimental, theoretical and observational. Through initiative elucidation of quantum phenomena emerging in the frontier scientific fields such as macroscopic quantum coherence, magnetism and semiconductors, we hope to bring about a Japan-originated new trend in scientific and industrial prosperity in the 21st century.
