The Nanoscale Quantum Science Center (Q-NanoLab) was established to integrate two core strengths of The Institute for Solid State Physics: the exploration of novel materials and emergent quantum phenomena, and advanced measurements conducted under extreme conditions using large-scale facilities. By leveraging state-of-the-art nanofabrication and nanoscale characterization techniques, the Center provides a comprehensive platform that connects material synthesis, device fabrication, and advanced measurements.

Based on technologies for fabricating and controlling a wide variety of quantum materials at the nanoscale, Q-NanoLab promotes both the exploration of novel material functionalities and fundamental studies aimed at elucidating the behavior of quantum degrees of freedom, such as charge and spin. Through these efforts, the Center advances research that links fundamental condensed matter physics to future electronic functionalities, including quantum technologies and spintronics.

In addition to its research activities, Q-NanoLab provides access to nanofabrication facilities that are maintained and operated by the Center for both internal and external researchers. In this role, the Center serves as a key nanofabrication infrastructure hub at the University of Tokyo’s Kashiwa Campus, supporting a broad range of collaborative research activities.
