Professor Klaus Ensslin

Professor of Physics, ETH Zurich

Klaus Ensslin has been Professor of Solid-State Physics at ETH Zurich since October 1995. His research focuses on the physics of mesoscopic systems. The electronic properties of novel semiconductor nanostructures are investigated using material control down to the atomic scale including graphene and other 2D materials. One important goal is the ever increasing control and improved understanding of the quantum properties of electrons in nanostructures in view of a future quantum information processor. He served as a director of the National Center of Competence on "Quantum Science and Technology" 2011-2022.
