IMS has served as a center of excellence to lead molecular science activities over four decades long. With the support from the community of related research fields, IMS will continue standing as a comprehensive open-use laboratory, providing a place of joint-research, exchanging global researchers and nurturing young scientists. IMS has six cores to shape its research activities: Department of Theoretical and Computational Molecular Science, Photo-Molecular Science, Materials Molecular Science, and Life and Coordination-Complex Molecular Science; Research Center of Integrative Molecular Systems is an interdisciplinary playground exploring molecular-hierarchy systems; Center of Mesoscopic Science propels methodological and functional studies of molecular systems. IMS houses open-use research facilities including UVSOR to promote discovery of molecular behaviors. Our challenge continues. Exploratory Research Center on Life and Living Systems, integrating knowledge of three institutes of NIBB, NIPS and IMS, on the quest of the secret keys to life and living.

Breakthrough for the realization of ultrafast quantum computers: the world’s fastest 2-Qubit gate between two single atoms

“The team succeeded in executing the world’s fastest two-qubit gate (a fundamental arithmetic element essential for quantum computing) using a completely new method of manipulating, with an ultrafast laser, micrometer-spaced atoms cooled to absolute zero temperature. For the past …

A Metal-like Quantum Gas: A pathbreaking platform for quantum simulation

“Coherent and ultrafast laser excitation creates an exotic matter phase with spatially overlapping electronic wave-functions under nanometric control in an artificial micro-crystal of ultracold atoms. This exotic metal-like quantum gas under exquisite control and long-lived, decaying in nanoseconds, opens up …

Reducing open-circuit voltage loss in organic solar cells

“Researchers at Institute for Molecular Science in Japan report that organic solar cells (OSCs) with high mobility and highly crystalline donor (D) and acceptor (A) materials were able to reduce an open-circuit voltage (VOC) loss. The origin of the high …

World’s fastest quantum simulator operating at the atomic level

“Kenji Ohmori (Institute for Molecular Science, National Institutes of Natural Sciences, Japan) has collaborated with Matthias Weidemüller (University of Heidelberg), Guido Pupillo (University of Strasbourg), Claudiu Genes (University of Innsbruck) and their coworkers to develop the world’s fastest simulator …
