| Profile |
I am a theoretical physicist. In graduate school, I majored in elementary particle physics, and after receiving Ph.D. , I worked as a postdoctoral fellow in chemical physics. Since arriving at Tokyo City University, I have been conducting research on dynamical systems, numerical methods, and quantum computers, in addition to chemical physics. |
| Research Field(Keyword & Summary) |
- (1) Chemical physics
Real-time dynamics of finite-temperature quantum many-body systems is difficult to calculate numerically. Path-integral molecular dynamics is a promising method for numerical calculations by mapping a quantum system to a classical system, and I am developing a method to apply it to the calculation of real-time quantum dynamics.
- (2) Nambu mechanics
Nambu mechanics is a generalized Hamiltonian mechanics, introduced by Yoichiro Nambu in 1973, which has various interesting properties. I have found examples of quantum and semiclassical systems described by Nambu mechanics. I am now investigating its properties in detail and developing numerical methods to calculate it.
- (3) Quantum computer
A quantum computer is a new type of computer that works based on the principles of quantum mechanics. It is still in the development stage, but we can run a prototype machine through a free cloud service. In addition to the simulation of quantum systems, I am considering the use of quantum computers as an educational tool for learning quantum mechanics.
