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- Hackathon today! We're doing a Hardware Hackathon (Red Pitaya FPGA) to try and cool levitating nanoparticles.Lots going on this month for the #internationaldayoflightNew mini-technology from our lab! @yugang.ren has built a tiny ion trap, to integrate nanoparticles into circuits, for sensing, signal processing (and who-knows maybe even quantum physics).Pretty happy about this new graffiti which has appeared near my house! @fatcapsprays
