Our paper studying molecular collision complexes has been published in American Physical Society Physical Review Letters Congratulations @GrumpyPostgrad Jake Blackmore and Sarah! ⚛️QSUM ⚛️ Durham Quantum Light and Matter Durham Physics

An exciting proposal using ultracold polar molecules for #QuantumComputing

This research explores the use of organic molecules embedded in a polymer shell for #QuantumPhysics using single photon emitters

Congratulations to QSUM PhD student Vincent Brooks from Durham for participating in the 3 Minute Thesis Challenge, describing his work towards assembling ultracold RbCs molecules in optical tweezers.

Not just ‘participating’ - Vincent was runner-up in the Durham competition and is now through to the NE regional final! Very well done! Durham Quantum Light and Matter Durham Physics

You can now watch Vincent's presentation on "Quantum LEGO" for the Three Minute Thesis (3MT) competition at sites.durham.ac.uk/dcad/wp-conten… ⚛️QSUM ⚛️ Durham Quantum Light and Matter Durham Physics

Congratulations Jake Blackmore for submitting your thesis! I can testify that it's a good read - let's hope the examiners enjoy it! Durham Quantum Light and Matter ⚛️QSUM ⚛️

Our results and discussion of controlling the ac Stark effect in RbCs molecules are now up on arxiv.org/abs/2007.01762

Our paper on dipolar interactions between molecules in tweezer traps is available at: arxiv.org/abs/2007.03296

New paper up on the #arXiv today on pump-probe spectroscopy of rubidium at the single-photon level. Check it out! arxiv.org/abs/2007.08452 ⚛️QSUM ⚛️ Imperial Physics ICFO

Beautiful work from the Ni group! You can read about our closely related measurements using RbCs molecules in Physical Review Letters at doi.org/10.1103/PhysRe…

We have an opening for a postdoctoral researcher on our Cs-Yb experiment to study beyond mean-field quantum droplets. Closing date for applications is 20 August 2020. durham.taleo.net/careersection/…

Recent progress from the optical tweezers experiment at Durham.

Update from the ⚛️QSUM ⚛️ RbCs lab. We aspire to great heights on this project and so we've been climbing the rotational ladder. Here are Rabi oscillations on N=0 to N=1. Follow the thread to climb higher! @DurhamQlm Durham Physics

Update from the ⚛️QSUM ⚛️ microscope project. We've been testing our high NA objective lens by imaging gold nano-particles to extract the PSF (a)-(c). The image in (d) is a simulation of a Rb Mott insulator state. Durham Quantum Light and Matter Durham Physics

Update from the ⚛️QSUM ⚛️ CsYb experiment. We've added a bichromatic optical trap and can now produce dual-species BECs of Yb and Cs. This opens up the study of quantum droplets with @jqcDurNew and @DurhamQlm theory colleagues. Durham Physics

Update from the ⚛️QSUM ⚛️ optical tweezers experiment. Our atom number is growing! For the uninitiated, the fuzzy blobs below are images of individual Cs atoms. How cool is that!? Well, the atoms are at about 14 micro-Kelvin! Durham Quantum Light and Matter Durham Physics

I'm speaking at the SPIE Optics + Photonics Digital Forum next week! Free to register here spie.org/conferences-an… and listen to all the great talks. Hopefully next time I actually get to go to San Diego! #quantum #photonics ⚛️QSUM ⚛️ @SPIEevents Imperial Physics IOP QQQ Group
