Jacob Wüsthoff Linder

Jacob Wüsthoff Linder is a Professor of Physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), affiliated with the Department of Physics and the Faculty of Natural Sciences since 2013. He holds a Ph.D. in Physics from NTNU (2009) and has been a Principal Investigator at the Center of Excellence QuSpin since 2017. He serves as a Divisional Associate Editor for Physical Review Letters (since 2024) and contributes to the Great Norwegian Encyclopedia, authoring entries on Quantum Physics, Material Physics, and Atomic/Nuclear Physics.

His research focuses on quantum condensed matter theory, particularly the interplay of superconductivity, magnetism, and spin-orbit coupling in nanoscale materials. Key competencies include condensed matter physics, Dirac materials, quantum field theory, and theoretical physics. Collaborations with international experimental groups and theoretical modeling drive his work on quantum transport and nonequilibrium phenomena.

Recent publications highlight advancements in spin-split superconductors, altermagnet physics, and superconductor-ferromagnet interfaces. His work bridges fundamental theory with technological applications, such as spintronics and quantum sensors.
