Research Summary

Bridging macroscopic nonequilibrium phenomena and microscopic theory of (quantum) mechanics is presumably one of the most profound problems in physics. In particular, the past decade has witnessed a rapid development on our understanding of how isolated quantum systems relax to thermal equilibrium under unitary time evolution. We are now interested in understanding and controlling richer nonequilibrium dynamics emergent in isolated or dissipative quantum many-body systems. Through nonequilibrium science, I would also like to contribute to interdisciplinary researches, such as biology and information theory as well as condensed matter theory.
