Misaki Ohta (Japanese: 太田 三砂貴, born 27 October 1994) is a Japanese theoretical physicist and visual artist. He studied theoretical physics in the master's programme at the University of Wrocław and has co-authored research on quantum information and conformal gravity.[1][2][3]
Early life and education
Ohta was born in Toda City, Japan. He has described being driven from childhood by an interest in natural phenomena and mathematics, and by a desire to understand the underlying principles behind them.[4] In 2019, he entered the University of the Ryukyus, majoring in physics.[5]
In 2023, Ohta joined research activities at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), participating in the Quantum Gravity Unit. On 5 July 2023, he delivered a seminar titled "Symmetries, Lattices, Groups", discussing relationships between symmetry and lattice theory.[6]
Later that year, Ohta began graduate studies in theoretical physics at the University of Wrocław in Poland, enrolling in the university's two-year second-cycle physics programme.[3]
Career
Ohta's early academic interests focused on theoretical and mathematical physics. During his time at OIST, he worked with the Quantum Gravity Unit on topics related to symmetry and lattice theory.[6]
In October 2023, he moved to Poland to study at the University of Wrocław. His master's research explored connections between symmetric lattices and extremal "magic states" in finite-dimensional quantum systems, co-authoring a paper with Kazuki Sakurai that was posted to arXiv in 2025.[2]
Research
Ohta's work spans high-energy physics, quantum information theory, and mathematical structures of lattice symmetries.
In 2024, he co-authored a paper with Ichiro Oda on the covariant operator formalism for locally scale-invariant gravity (Quantum Conformal Gravity) published in Journal of High Energy Physics.[1]
His later work connects E₈ and Barnes–Wall symmetries with quantum information geometry, proposing closed-form constructions for extremal and maximal magic states.[2]

Media
Ohta has been profiled in Japanese media in the context of gifted education, including interviews and feature articles in KIDSNA STYLE, NEWS Post Seven, and Weekly Gendai.[4][7][8]
Japanese television programmes such as TBS's Ichiban dake ga shitte iru have presented him as a highly gifted individual with a reported IQ score of 188.[9][7][4]
