Charlotte Bøttcher
Prof. Bøttcher will be joining the department in January 2025.
The Bøttcher lab focuses on questions that lie at the intersection between Condensed Matter Physics and Quantum Information. The lab researches and develops new experimental quantum sensing tools based on circuit QED to study emergent phases in quantum materials such as 2D materials, proximity coupled heterostructures and van der Waals materials. Understanding the underlying properties of this class of materials and how to control them is essential for building hybrid quantum circuitry and qubits that inherit their novel properties.
Research topics:
- Quantum sensing of phase transitions in low dimensional materials
- Superconducting two-dimensional arrays
- Hybrid quantum circuits and qubits
- Collective modes and their coupling to microwave fields

Charlotte received her B.A. degree in Physics in 2016 from the Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen, where she focused on studying quantum phase transitions in two-dimensional Josephson junction arrays. She then moved to the US and finished her Ph.D. in Physics at Harvard University in 2022. During her Ph.D. Charlotte also spent time at IBM Quantum. As a postdoc at Yale University, she worked on hybrid material systems for quantum information applications.
