Nuclei are finite many-particle systems composed of protons and neutrons. They are self-bound in femto-scale by the strong interaction (nuclear force) whose study was pioneered by Hideki Yukawa. Uncommon properties of the nuclear force (repulsive core, spin-isospin dependence, tensor force, etc.) prevent complete microscopic studies of nuclear structure. There exist number of unsolved problems even at present. In addition, radioactive beam facilities reveal novel aspects of unstable nuclei. We are tackling these old problems and new issues in theoretical nuclear physics, developing new models and pursuing large-scale calculations of quantum many-body systems. We are also strongly involved in research on other quantum many-body systems, to resolve mysteries in the quantum physics.
