Research Theme

Conventional control method of photoinduced chemical reaction is based on the semiclassical theory, in which it is assumed that light is an electromagnetic wave. In this study, we develop a more efficient control method by utilizing the quantum nature of light, known as quantum correlation. We also explore the possibility of energy transfer utilizing quantum nonlocality of light.
