  • We have added a page listing the bachelor's and master's theses written in our lab. They are published one by one as we obtain each author's consent.
  • TWCU press release: Prof. Kinya Oda and Naoya Ogawa complete a new formulation clarifying the limits of joint measurement of position and momentum — a century-overdue theoretical resolution to the foundational question Heisenberg raised at the birth of quantum theory.

    Related paper: K. Oda, N. Ogawa, Gaussian Formalism: Joint Measurement for Heisenberg's Uncertainty Relation for Errors, PTEP 2025 (2025) 063A02 [2403.19440]

    This press release was also featured as the top item among universities' announcements in the weekly magazine Sunday Mainichi (issue of 6 July 2025; University Press Center "News Digest" Vol. 206) [University Press Center article].
  • New member: Kyoko Tanaka. An astronomer who decodes the formation and evolution of cosmic dust through molecular dynamics. Her meticulous theory and computations illuminate the drama of stellar birth and death.
  • New member: Akio Tomiya! A rising young scholar who has also served as the AI science consultant for the film Shin Kamen Rider, among other things.
  • A paper with Ms. Mitani — the first student to join us after the lab moved to TWCU — has been published! (Oda)
    H. Mitani, K. Oda, Decoherence in Neutrino Oscillation between 3D Gaussian Wave Packets, Phys. Lett. B 846 (2023) 138218 [2307.12230] 10 November 2023

    Ms. Mitani's Master's thesis has also been published online.
