Atsuhiro Umemoto

QUP Scientist

Assistant Professor

My research focuses on tabletop-scale, low-energy astroparticle physics experiments aimed at searching for new physics beyond the Standard Model, including dark matter. Currently, I focus on the outstanding physical properties of diamond to develop novel particle detection technologies that surpass the sensitivity and performance of conventional detectors.

Research Content

At QUP, we are developing a quantum sensing platform that exploits the excellent coherence properties of diamond NV centers to search for ultralight bosonic dark matter candidates, such as axion-like particles and dark photons.
By constructing a measurement system with high-precision laser and microwave control, together with the growth of high-quality diamond crystals, we aim to enhance the experimental sensitivity and probe previously unexplored regions of dark matter parameter space.
