RIKEN NEWS: Exploring Critical Magnetic Transport Phenomena with a Quantum Simulator

An interview with Yuta Sekino (Postdoctoral Researcher, iTHEMS) has been featured in Research Highlights, part of the "Close-up RIKEN 2025" series on RIKEN’s research introduction page. It has also been published in SPRING 2025 issue of RIKEN’s public relations magazine, RIKEN NEWS.

Postdoctoral Researcher Yuta Sekino is theoretically investigating the behavior of "many-particle systems," which are collections of particles. He devised a new model that captures the flow of magnetism by confining individual atoms in an ultrafine lattice (optical lattice) created with lasers. Through theoretical calculations based on this model, he discovered a mysterious magnetic transport phenomenon.
