"Science Plaza 2007", an open-house event of NTT Basic Research
Laboratories (BRL), was held at NTT Atsugi R&D Center on Thursday,
November 22nd, 2007. Under the banner "Nanoscience Opens Up the Quantum
World", Science Plaza aimed to disseminate our latest research accomplishments
through various sections of people inside and outside of NTT and to gather
diverse opinions.
Following an opening address from the director, Dr. Yumoto, Exective
Managers briefly summarized research strategy and exhibited posters. In
the afternoon session, two distinguished technical members of NTT BRL,
Toshimasa Fujisawa and Akira Fujiwara, gave lectures on "Controlling

Electrons in Silicon Nanodevices", respectively. Each lecture was
well-attended and followed by heated question-and-answer sessions.
As regards the poster exhibits, 34 posters, including four from Photonics
Laboratories and Microsystem Integration Laboratories, presented our latest
research accomplishments. While explaining the originality and impactas
well as the future prospectsof our research accomplishments, these posters
were intensively discussed, and many meaningful opinions were heard. This
year's "Lab Tour"a guided tour of research facilities at NTT
BRL that has been receiving high reputation from visitors over the yearstook
place at four different labs, each presented five times in total, so that
as many people as possible could join the tour. This time we also opened
