Dale J. Van Harlingen

Dale J. Van Harlingen (July 22, 1950 - July 20, 2024) was an American condensed matter physicist.

Education and career Van Harlingen graduated from Ohio State University with a bachelor's degree in 1972, a master's degree in 1974 and a doctorate in 1977. As a postdoc he spent a year at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, England and three years with John Clarke at the University of California, Berkeley, where he did research on non-equilibrium superconductors and DC electronics with SQUIDs. Van Harlingen became in 1981 a professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) and was then a professor of physics at the UIUC's Laboratory for Materials Research and the NSF Science and Technology Center for Superconductivity. In fundamental experiments, with David Wollman, Donald Ginsberg and Anthony Leggett, he determined the symmetry properties of the order parameter in high-temperature superconductors involving some copper oxides. in 1999 a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2003 a member of the National Academy of Sciences,
