About Oiwa Laboratory

We are developing new photon/electron/spin semiconductor quantum devices that will support the advanced information society in the 21st century. Our research activities include semiconductor spintronics based on electron spin coherence/dynamics, and new approaches to manipulate quantum states in quantum dot devices including single electron spin-photon quantum interface. Our goal is to discover new quantum phenomena in quantum nanostructures through creative growth of high-quality quantum materials based on semiconductor quantum wells/dots and precise quantum transport measurements at low temperature.
