Structure and mechanical and thermal properties in condensed matter

Even in dense colloidal suspensions, where long-range hydrodynamic interactions are screened, near-field hydrodynamic interactions qualitatively influence the selection of kinetic pathways.

Statistical physics and thermodynamics

This study presents an innovative method to address the problem of phase transitions in quantum annealing, resulting in an exponential speedup of the process.

Superconductivity

This Journal of the Physical Society of Japan Special Topics edition explores how physics and machine learning complement each other and can solve unresolved problems in physics.

Electronic transport in condensed matter

This paper presents a unified theoretical description for the topological Hall effect, covering the entire region from strong- to weak-coupling, extending its picture beyond the Berry phase.

Electron states in condensed matter

Electronic transport in condensed matter

The realization of an excitonic insulator can help in the establishment of a new electronic state in condensed matter physics, one that has the potential to exhibit novel electric, magnetic, and optical responses beyond those of conventional materials.
