Magnus O. Borgh

Magnus O. Borgh is an Associate Professor in Physics at the University of East Anglia's School of Engineering, Mathematics and Physics. He is a member of the Centre for Photonics and Quantum Science and Quantum Matter, focusing on theoretical and computational physics in ultracold atoms, quantum optics, and topological phenomena in Bose-Einstein condensates.

• EPSRC Postdoctoral Fellowship, University of Southampton

His research explores quantum fluids, particularly topological objects like vortices and defects in spinor Bose-Einstein condensates, and light-matter interactions at atomic scales. Recent projects include predicting 'superatom' behavior in cooperative light scattering, detecting phonon dynamics via photon responses, and describing spin-Alice rings with parallels to quantum-field theory.

Key trends in his publications highlight topological defect structures (monopoles, Alice rings, vortices), quantum phase transitions, and non-Abelian symmetries in spinor systems. He investigates how discrete and continuous symmetries influence defect dynamics and applies theoretical models to experimental scenarios, often collaborating internationally.

Borgh supervises research projects and advises self-funded PhD candidates. He participates in school engagement lectures (e.g., Quantum Mechanics and Entanglement, 2023) and serves as an external examiner at Newcastle University. His work resides in the Centre for Photonics and Quantum Science, integrating computational methods with experimental collaborations.
