Tadashi Takayanagi
Tadashi Takayanagi ( Japanese 高 柳 匡 , Takayanagi Tadashi ; born October 11, 1975 in Tokyo Prefecture ) is a Japanese theoretical physicist . He is a professor at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics at Kyoto University .
Takayanagi studied physics at the University of Tokyo , where he received his bachelor's degree in 1998 and his master's degree in 2000, and his doctorate in 2002 with Tōru Eguchi ( superstring theory in Melvin background ). As a post-doctoral student he was at Harvard University (Jefferson Physical Laboratory) until 2005 and at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara in 2005/06 . In 2006 he became Assistant Professor, 2008 Associate Professor and 2012 Professor in Kyoto. He is also at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (Kavli IMPU) in Kashiwanoha.
He is concerned with string theory and is known for a work with Shinsei Ryū from 2006 in which they calculate the entropy from quantum entanglement in conformal field theories on the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of black holes as part of Juan Maldacena's AdS / CFT correspondence , in the conforming field theories on a surface correspond to a theory of gravity in the enclosed volume.
In 2015 he received the New Horizons in Physics Prize with Shinsei Ryū, Horacio Casini and Marina Huerta . In 2011 he received the Yukawa-Kimura Prize of the Yukawa Memorial Foundation and in 2013 with Ryū the Nishinomiya-Yukawa Prize . In 2016 he was awarded the Nishina Prize .
