UEC Tokyo enjoys international prestige in Optical Science, particularly in the areas of Laser Source Innovation, Cold Atoms, Frequency Synthesis, Quantum Optics, and High Intensity Laser. For instance, it’s the birth place of the ceramic laser. The pioneering work of laser cooling and trapping of metastable Ne atoms done here in 1988 led on to numerous recent works on ultracold atoms, including atom holography and Bose-Einstein Condensation. The Optical Science group has grown, and presently consists of members from the Institute for Laser Science, Department of Engineering Science, and Center for Photonic Innovations. It continues to be innovative and to explore new frontiers. Some recent highlights include Fiber-based quantum interface using tapered nanofibers, frequency-correlated photon pairs, an optical synthesizer, attosecond pulse generation, and analysis of attosecond phenomena. http://www.uec.ac.jp/eng
Insights from quantum information science are revising our understanding of the microscopic workings of the world around us. The underlying quantum nature of our world is being revealed through new discoveries in quantum phenomena and information sciences. At the Berkeley Quantum Information and Computational Center, University of California at Berkeley, theoretical and experimental quantum information research is changing both our perceived fundamental limits on accessing and measuring the quantum world underlying our natural environment, and what is possible for computation within a quantum description of nature. Our center brings together researchers from diverse backgrounds to probe the realization and limitations to quantum computation, quantum measurement and control, and quantum metrology.
The Institute for theoretical physics is very active on a large spectrum of very interesting and hot topics in theoretical physics, from complex systems to solid state physics, from non-equilibrium physics to cosmology and particle physics, including the mathematical foundations of quantum physics.
