Just out in PRL - Measuring the Optical Concurrence of Vector Beams with an Atomic-State Interferometer journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1… Thanks to my team Glasgow Optics Group and colleagues at Xi'An and Budapest, this was fun!

Join us on MAY 29th at 6 PM at the ARC behind the reception for a board game and pizza night. It’s a great opportunity to meet other PhD students and staff working in Optics and Photonics in the University of Glasgow. #photonics #networking

Proud to be among the first endorsers of our Women for Quantum Manifesto, at arxiv.org/abs/2407.02612 asking for a change in the current model of scientific leadership, funding, and authority to enhance representation and participation of everyone.

Excited to see our work published in ACS Nano. Crumpling up 2D materials with orbital angular momentum beams to control their electronic properties. Like a wrench, but with light ⚡️ Thanks Malcolm Kadodwala Sonja Franke-Arnold @jbgoette et al pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

ECAS is pleased to warmly welcome 12 outstanding early-career scholars chosen to join the Lower Saxony – Scotland #TandemFellowshipProgramme. For detailed information on each of the tandems, please visit:  ecas-academia.org/lower-saxony-s….

We are honoured to be part of the Lower Saxony – Scotland Tandem Fellowship program from ECAS. Huge thanks to our team led by Sonja Franke-Arnold here in Glasgow Optics Group and to our collaborators at PTB!

🇩🇪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 The PTB just got a little bit closer to Glasgow! Congratulations to our Richard Aguiar and Riian Schmidt who were awarded a Lower Saxony-Scotland Tandem Fellowship - looking forward to more collaborations.

Celebrations in order today for the Optics Group as Amy McWilliam passed her viva! Also pictured here: viva examiners Prof Jonathan Leach, quantunmise and convenor Dr Caroline Müllenbroich with supervisor Sonja Franke-Arnold. Congratulations Dr McWilliam! 🎊🎊🎊

📢Optica Technical Groups Webinar announcement: Join us online on August 27 at 10:00 EDT to learn about "Tailoring polarization structures that are immune to noise" with Prof. Andrew Forbes (University of Witwatersrand). Registration page: optica.org/events/webinar…

Judging from our kickoff meeting at Mainz, V-MAG (a QuantERA R&D Funders for Quantum Technologies (QT) network) will offer an exciting mix of collaborations on #VectorMagnetometry with #StructuredLight. Great colleagues - great ideas! More info at quantera-vmag.org

Skyrmion fields determine the properties of skyrmions and, more generally, the polarization structure of every paraxial vector beam. Find more in our recent publication 👇
