Looking for an exciting PhD project or postdoc position? Why not join our team building a quantum gas microscope for ultracold molecules? Watch youtu.be/ODKDb4igpDI for further details. @QSUMproject @DurhamQlm @DurhamPhysics

Update from the @QSUMproject 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! @DurhamQlm @DurhamPhysics

I'm speaking at the SPIE Optics + Photonics Digital Forum next week! Free to register here spie.org/conferences-and-exh… and listen to all the great talks. Hopefully next time I actually get to go to San Diego! #quantum #photonics @QSUMproject @SPIEevents @ImperialPhysics @qqq_iop

Update from the @QSUMproject 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. @DurhamPhysics

Update from the @QSUMproject 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. @DurhamQlm @DurhamPhysics

Update from the @QSUMproject 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 @DurhamPhysics

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/careersecti…
Recent progress from the optical tweezers experiment at Durham.
Update from the @QSUMproject optical tweezers experiment - species selective loading of single Rb and Cs atoms into separate optical tweezers. Our first step towards making a single ultracold RbCs molecule. @DurhamQlm @DurhamPhysics

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 @QSUMproject @ImperialPhysics @ICFOnians
Our paper on dipolar interactions between molecules in tweezer traps is available at: arxiv.org/abs/2007.03296
Our results and discussion of controlling the ac Stark effect in RbCs molecules are now up on arxiv.org/abs/2007.01762

Not just ‘participating’ - Vincent was runner-up in the Durham competition and is now through to the NE regional final! Very well done! @DurhamQlm @DurhamPhysics
This research explores the use of organic molecules embedded in a polymer shell for #QuantumPhysics using single photon emitters
New paper out today in Optical Materials Express about protective encapsulation of nanocrystals containing single-photon emitting molecules! Enjoy! doi.org/10.1364/OME.396942 @QSUMproject @qsehub @ImperialPhysics @qqq_iop @CQDCDT @OSAPublishing
An exciting proposal using ultracold polar molecules for #QuantumComputing
🎉Another @PhysRevA out - led by DPhil student Michael @OxfordPhysics w/ @QSUMproject mates at @DurhamQlm @DurhamChemistry & @ImperialPhysics
We propose a robust high-fidelity entangling gate btw polar #molecules with MWs #qtech

🎉Paper out @PhysRevA led by @GaoHongmin
We show how shaking strongly-correlated fermions in a lattice allows to control the dynamics of spin singlets.
It's a collaboration btw @ERC_Research project Q-MAC & @EPSRC @QSUMproject
