J. C. Séamus Davis (born March 22, 1961)[1] is an Irish physicist whose research explores the world of macroscopic quantum physics.
Davis concentrates upon the fundamental physics of exotic states of electronic, magnetic, atomic and space-time quantum matter.
A specialty is development of innovative instrumentation to allow direct atomic-scale visualization or perception of the quantum many-body phenomena that are characteristic of these states.
Other key components of the program are at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids[2] in Germany.
Davis was admitted to University College Cork (UCC) in 1978 and studied physics under Frank Fahy, earning a B.Sc.
