Quantum Universe	Satoshi Uetake, Assoc. Prof.	Each elementary particle has its own anti-(elementary)-particle. The number of anti-particles right after the birth of our universe must have been the same to that of particles according to energetic consideration, while the present universe almost exclusively consists of particles. Why did this asymmetry between matter and anti-matter occur ? The key to solve the enigma is considered to lie in a violation of some conservation laws in the elementary particle world (lepton number and CP violation). Our reseach efforts at the Center are directed to elucidate the nature of elementary particles, in particular theoretical and experimental studies related to neutrinos and leptons, and the origin of the universe.	7909	uetake_at_okayama-u.ac.jp
