Newton's apple and an atom interferometer - two sides of (almost!) the same medal

Yo #ScienceMastodon,
If you are looking for #quantum chitchat, at times useless trivia, and #research updates on our work in the field of #quantumtechnologies for inertial sensing: this is where it's at!

Did you know that humankind will likely never laser cool potassium worth the amount in a single 🍌?

Our recipe towards sub-100pK energies w/o the need for microgravity is now published in @CommsPhys

What can I say, we're having a blast at #sinogfos organized by @AvHStiftung and #CAS

Air France is really sending a message to potassium connoisseurs here

Shout out to Dr. Doro! @ditsch42

Using double Bragg diffraction we run up to 9 strongly correlated atom interferometers and extract multiple quantities from linear combinations

Allow me to self-advertise this one because I'm pretty excited about it: when trying to do something much different we accidentally found out that sensing with scalable BEC arrays is a lot of fun 😎

Incredibly proud of the team @VLBAI_Hannover for having demonstrated the first mini launch in the 10m facility 💪💪💪

10m baseline with a UHV line of sight onto the seismic attenuation system 😍

It's been a bit of a long ride so can I maybe interest you in some atom source technology for quantum inertial sensors?

Quick reminder to self that about all the things in the US, I do never miss the 11USD a pint prices

Photonics West anyone?

Look, I stumbled across some unfinished work

That recent snowflake image has strong SEM vibes

How do you feel about our new M.Sc. Quantum Engineering trailer? 🤓

When a PI simulates something after what felt like years (instead of doing admin BS)

I love this kind of research. It's so easy to talk about doubly-magic nuclei reading from standard text books in Physics IV - look at the grind necessary to understand that's not where it's at!

As children, my grandparents were deported to Kazakhstan b/c they were of German origin from Poland and Ukraine. They never finished school and were so proud when I graduated. I think about them every single day. 🥲

#til midwives pay 2k+ for "lasers" to heal wounds inflicted from breast feeding. The specs are amazing, I'd say any light bulb is a pretty sweet deal then :D. And there are not even any side effects!
