Great to give some opening remarks at the 4th Workshop on OptoMechanics and Brillouin Scattering (WOMBAT) held virtually this year and hosted by the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (in Erlangen) mpl.mpg.de/research-at-mp…

Interesting presentation from Christopher Baker and Glen Harris from the Queensland Quantum Optics Laboratory QOLab at #UQ - Brillouin scattering meets cavity optomechanics and superfluid physics.

Are you a young physicist, biophysicist, etc.? Do you want to join our lab and help us developing novel tools for infectious diagnosis based on optomechanical sensors? You are more than wellcome to apply for this job offer: euraxess.ec.europa.eu/jobs/654376 ViruScan Project Instituto de Micro y Nanotecnología (IMN-CNM,CSIC) CSIC

PhD opportunities in quantum nanoscience & precision measurement at QOLab. Looking for backgrounds in physics, nanotechnology, photonics, bioscience, or engineering. Contact Prof Warwick Bowen [email protected] More details here: qo.lab.uq.edu.au

New PhD project "Beaming photons through exotic liquids; uncovering the mysteries of superfluid helium with light" ! with Glen Harris; more details below: graduate-school.uq.edu.au/project/beamin…

Our chapter on the convergence of fields of Brillouin scattering and cavity optomechanics with Chris Baker and Raphaël Van Laer is finally out, just in time for the quantum acoustics GRC! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The Landauer limit is the least amount of energy that a computer component can use to process information. A new logic gate that uses "nanoscopic trampolines" could approach this lower bound newscientist.com/article/232767…

Check it out, New Scientist picked up our QOLab preprint about nanomechanical logic gates 🥳. Great team Nico, Tim, Raj, Glen Harris Chris Baker @BowenWarwick.

Excited that New Scientist has picked up our latest work on scalable nanomechanical logic in QOLab.

Excited to announce four new postdoc positions in my lab on quantum optomechanics, quantum sensing in biology, precision sensing and nanomechanical computing. Join us! seek.com.au/job/57901561

Our preprint "Scalable nanomechanical logic gate" is out on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2206.11661

Our paper 'Cryogenic and hermetically sealed packaging of photonic chips for optomechanics' opg.optica.org/oe/fulltext.cf… has just been published in Optics Express

Our work on leveraging entropic forces to enable strong dynamical backaction in an optomechanical system is out on arXiv: arxiv.org/abs/2208.05660 The basic idea is outlined below ⬇️⬇️

We got it! Time to learn some new wonders of the universe. 🤩Congratulations to all involved, and to the other centres too.

Congratulations to @BowenWarwick and team on their successful ARC Centre of Excellence in Quantum Biotechnology bid 🎉🎉🍾!! arc.gov.au/funding-resear… QOLab

Excited for our latest superfluid research to appear in Science Advances ! science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

Our paper on stearing acoustic waves on a chip just appeared in APL. We show directional emission in an integrated acoustic waveguide, with over 99.9% directional efficiency and reconfigurable directionality. Read it here: pubs.aip.org/aip/apl/articl…

Our proposal for an Optomechanical Dark matter INstrument (ODIN) has just been published in PRD, and outlines a new method for the direct detection of low-mass dark matter: journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/1…
