We have started building our first optical cavity in the Levitated Nanophysics lab. This will be used to cool the motion of silicon nanorods to the quantum level. Exciting stuff!
The Quantum Workshop is James’ public engagement project.
My Tweets- With social distancing, it isn't often that that I get to be in the lab. Today, however, I got to do some *experiments*!Super happy to have had a #dumplingparty with my fantastic research team for #chinesenewyear. An evening of 100 dumplings!Ok, maybe a little late, but these were my favourite books of 2020. As soon as I heard that grumpy old Doris Lessing had written Sci Fi I *had* to check it out, I love everything Han Kang has done, Uzumaki is one of the few books I would actually describe as scary, and OOO has genuinely inspired me in my work!Ah, back when we were free-ish enough to get drunk and buy Tapas.
