Offer Description
[Background of the recruitment and description of the project]
* Background of the recruitment and description of the project
[Research Field]
Our team is conducting research on various quantum spintronics phenomena in nanoscale composite structures. Focusing on quantum spin dynamics, spin transport, and the interaction between spin and macroscopic order parameters, we are conducting experiments using methods such as transport measurements, optical measurements, and ultralow temperature microwave spectroscopy. Through this research, we aim to extend spintronics to the quantum domain, construct a fundamental physics system, and apply it to information processing and energy conversion.
