Quantum condensed matter
Discovering new quantum phenomena in materials and condensates
About us
Driven by scientific curiosity and technological developments, we investigate physics at the nanoscale in materials. Condensed matter displays a wealth of interesting and exotic behavior which ultimately is possible to understand through quantum physical theory. We are part of the Center of Excellence QuSpin at NTNU (2017-2027).
We use analytical and numerical models to describe the complex interactions that takes place in materials. Our focus is on quantum transport and we have a strong link to experimental activity, collaborating regularly with international groups.

Publication in PRL
The work of Lina Johnsen Kamra in collaboration with us on the strongly renormalized spin Hall effect in spin-split superconductors, "Inverse spin-Hall effect and spin swapping in spin-split superconductors", is now published in Physical Review Letters.
Congratulations!

New postdoc
Dr. Pavlo Sukhachov joins the team as postdoc. With his impressive background and expertise in a broad range of fields in theoretical condensed matter physics, Pavlo will be an asset to both the group and QuSpin as a center.
