Recent Research Topics
By fusing nanomechanical devices capable of handling tiny vibrations and acoustic waves (phonons) with light, electricity, and magnetism, we aim for cutting-edge applications such as extreme sensors, high-speed elastic wave integrated circuits, high-efficiency quantum memories, and ultra-sensitive in-liquid probes. We also aim to create innovative results such as the development of new physics and the extraction of new functions based on the interaction of photons, electrons, and spins with phonons. Based on NTT's three-dimensional microfabrication technology and advanced optical and electrical measurement technologies, we aim to contribute from basic research to the realization of a safe and secure IoT society surrounded by extreme sensor networks and quantum information networks, as well as a convenient and environmentally friendly society surrounded by self-sustaining drive devices using vibration and sound.
微小な振動や音波（フォノン）の取り扱いが可能となるナノメカニカル素子を光や電気、磁気と融合することにより、極限センサ・高速弾性波集積回路・高効率量子メモリ・超高感度液中プローブ、などの最先端応用をめざすと共に、光子・電子・スピンとフォノンとの相互作用に基づく新規物理の開拓や新機能の抽出など、革新的な成果の創出を図ります。高度な３次元微細加工技術や光・電気測定技術を基に、極限センサネットワークや量子情報ネットワークに囲まれた安心・安全なIoT社会の実現や、振動や音を利用した自立駆動デバイスに囲まれた便利で環境に優しい社会の実現へ向けた基礎研究からの貢献をめざします。
