5 of the team involved in this exciting venture were PhD students at QLM!
Replying to @infleqtion
@infleqtion announced the installation of a neutral atom quantum computer at the National Quantum Computing Centre. Infleqtion becomes the first company to deploy hardware at the NQCC under their quantum computing testbed programme. businesswire.com/news/home/2…

Last year Durham colleagues have visited Boulby Underground Laboratory. Today Sean Paling from this lab comes to Durham and gave QLM a seminar where he introduced the interesting science projects in this facility in the North East of England, in Europe's deepest working mine!
The colleges in QLM visited Boulby underground laboratory located in Boulby mine, 1.1km below ground . It is one of the deepest science laboratories. Its unique environment allows researches requiring ultra-low background level.

Such a pleasure to host a great scientist, clear thinker and superb mentor. My time as a PhD student at @DurhamQLM was totally formative in becoming a scientist.

Excited to share our latest results on ultracold RbCs molecules in optical tweezers. Including, single-site addressing, multi-state readout, mid-sequence detection of formation errors and rearrangement! arxiv.org/abs/2401.13593 @DurhamPhysics @DurhamQLM

Dr Thomas Wall from @RAL_Space_STFC came to Durham today and introduced his work on gas sensing using laser based spectroscopy. Rather than just doing experiments in the lab, his work allows measurements of the gas concentration in the field. It’s great to listen to his talk!
