Ozawa Group

Welcome to Ozawa group at Advanced Institute for Materials Research (AIMR) in Tohoku University! We are a theoretical physics research group, studying an intersection between condensed matter physics and atomic, molecular, and optical physics.

We hope the human wins the battle against COVID-19 soon, and in the meantime, we wish you all good health.
