Laboratory of Ultrafast Quantum Optics

Welcome to Ultrafast Quantum Optics Laboratory

Ultrafast Quantum Optics Laboratory participates actively in material & optical sciences and technology. Prof. Adachi and Prof. Sekikawa lead a nanoscience & spin-optics group and an experimental laser physics group, respectively.

The research of Prof. Adachi’s group (Nanoscience & Spin-Optics Group) is aimed at time-resolved optical study and manipulation of spins in semiconductor nanostructures. Currently, we devote ourselves to investigating the dynamical process of an electron spin and nuclear spin ensemble in a single quantum dot.

Associate Prof. Sekikawa leads an experimental laser physics group interested in extreme ultraviolet (XUV) and soft x-ray nonlinear optics and spectroscopy through high harmonic generation.  On going project is the development of the single harmonic separator for XUV time-resolved spectroscopy.
