The recent advances in lithographic technology have enabled physicists to fabricate and control nano-scale systems. As a result, the integerand fractioinal quantum Hall effects were discovered in two-dimensionalelectron gas systems in 1980's, and mesoscopic physics has been activelyinvestigated since 1990's. Moreover, around 1995, researchers wereable to study electronic nanocircuits, where electrical current can flow through single atom or single molecule. Electrons in this kind of smallsystems are governed by quantum mechanics and can strongly interact witheach other. These facts give rise to a variety of novel pheonomena inmesoscopic systems, especially those relating to electronic transport.Currently, new topics in mesoscopic physics are emerging, connecting withother physics research areas such as quantum chaos, spintronics, nanomechanics, nanoelectronics, and quantum information. In our laboratory, we are theoretically studying mesoscopic physics. The detailed topics can be found below or in the group webpage linked at the bottom of this page.
