Research Topics
We are investigating non-equilibrium dynamics of light-driven quantum many-body systems. If you are interested in the research at our group at Tohoku University, please feel free to contact us!
Light-matter interactions
We usually recognize the world around us through light. Additionally, our society today is supported by various technologies based on the interaction of light and matter, such as lights that illuminate dark rooms at night, solar cells that extract energy from sunlight, and X-ray imaging for medical examinations. At the Quantum Dynamics Theory Group, we aim to elucidate the microscopic physical mechanisms behind the interactions of light and matter and to advance theoretical research for creating new optical science technologies.
Theoretical Simulation of Light-Driven Electron Dynamics
In recent research in the field of optical material physics, various light-driven nonlinear phenomena, non-equilibrium phenomena, and ultrafast phenomena have been investigated using high-intensity laser light. Behind these interesting phenomena, the dynamics of quantum many-body systems play a crucial role. However, it is often difficult to understand the microscopic physical processes behind the phenomena based solely on macroscopic experimental results. We use numerical simulations based on quantum mechanics to directly simulate the microscopic electron dynamics and work on elucidating the microscopic mechanisms of various phenomena driven by light.
