Sol H. Jacobsen

Sol H. Jacobsen is a Researcher in the Department of Physics at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), where he leads the Jacobsen Group focused on theoretical quantum condensed matter physics. He is affiliated with the QuSpin centre of excellence in spintronics and maintains an active research program exploring the intersection of superconductivity and magnetism.

Dr. Jacobsen's research interests span fundamental quantum physics with a focus on superconductors and magnetic systems. His work investigates geometric curvature effects in superconducting spintronics, cavity quantum electrodynamics with magnetic materials, and the manipulation of quantum states through novel material designs. His research has significant implications for quantum computing, spintronic devices, and quantum sensing technologies.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on geometric manipulation of superconductivity, cavity-mediated superconductor-ferromagnet interactions, and curvature-induced quantum effects. The research shows a clear trajectory toward developing new quantum technologies that leverage the unique properties emerging at the interface of superconductors and magnetic materials, particularly through geometric design principles and cavity quantum electrodynamics.

Dr. Jacobsen actively supervises multiple PhD and Master's students, including Tancredi Salamone and Andreas T.G. Janssønn who have recently defended their theses. His group has secured significant funding including a 12M NOK/1M EUR/$1.7M AUD grant from the Norwegian Research Council for the SUPERFLEX project (2025-2030). He frequently presents at international conferences and has been featured in multiple podcasts discussing quantum physics and superconducting spintronics.

The Jacobsen Group maintains an active research program with regular group meetings and collaborations with international partners including institutions in Germany, Australia, and South Korea. Their work combines theoretical modeling with potential experimental verification, focusing on creating new quantum phenomena through geometric design and material engineering.
