Charles M. Marcus

Charles Marcus is a Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen, with a focus on experimental condensed matter physics and quantum information systems. His research spans topological materials, spin qubits, and hybrid superconductor-semiconductor devices.

• Education:
  • PhD, Physics (1990), Harvard University, Dissertation: "Dynamics of Analog Neural Networks"
  • BS, Physics (1984), Stanford University

Research interests include quantum coherent electronics, Majorana modes, and topological quantum computing. His work explores superconducting qubits, electron-nuclear interactions, and quantum transport phenomena.

Recent 15 publications focus on topological superconductors, Josephson junctions, and quantum device engineering. Key trends involve hybrid quantum systems, non-Abelian statistics, and advanced nanofabrication techniques.

Scientific awards include the HC Ørsted Gold Medal, Industry Prize from the Danish Academy of Natural Sciences, and Fellowships from AAAS, APS, and the MIT Meservey Lecturer title.

He served as Director of the Center for Quantum Devices (2012-2019) and Lab Director at Microsoft Quantum (2016-2021). His global collaborations include advisory roles at MIT, Stanford, and the Technion.
