Biography

Harry Levine is an experimental physicist specializing in quantum science, particularly focusing on neutral atom superconducting qubit systems. His research interests encompass quantum computing, quantum error correction, atomic physics, many-body physics, and quantum sensing. After completing his undergraduate degree at Stanford in 2015, he earned his Ph.D. from Harvard in 2021, where he significantly contributed to the development of a neutral atom platform for the quantum information processing group led by Mikhail Lukin. Harry was honored with the Deborah Jin Thesis Prize in 2022 for his doctoral work. Prior to joining the faculty, he worked as a senior research scientist at AWS Center for Quantum Computing, where he focused on hardware-efficient strategies for quantum error correction in superconducting qubits. In July 2025, Harry joined the Department of Physics as an Assistant Professor, holding the Charles Kittel Chair. His research group investigates quantum science using arrays of individual atoms to push the limits of quantum control for applications in computation, metrology, and precision measurement. He continues to collaborate with superconducting circuits at AWS Center for Quantum Computing as an Amazon Scholar.
