Harold U. Baranger is a Professor Emeritus in the Department of Physics at Duke University. His research group focuses on open quantum systems at the nanoscale, particularly on the generation of correlations among particles. His fundamental interest in nanophysics stems from the ability to control and probe systems at length scales larger than atoms, allowing for investigation of bulk properties. His work often marries theoretical approaches with experimental validations and he has explored a variety of themes including particle correlations, emergent many-body phenomena in complex materials, and quantum information contexts. Recent projects have studied the behavior of quantum wires and dots, including the interactions at the interface of quantum Hall insulators and superconductors, and the dynamics of two-dimensional correlated systems. Baranger holds degrees from Cornell University and has been recognized as a Fellow of the American Physical Society since 2007. He has taught various courses in physics, contributing to the education of students in phenomena related to thermal physics, electricity, magnetism, and optics.
