Our recipe towards sub-100pK energies w/o the need for microgravity is now published in @CommsPhys
I succesfully defended my PhD thesis today!
I was overwhelmed to have so many of my colleagues join the celebrations!
On the picture you can see the doctoral hat (with an actual crossed laser setup!), the beam picture I had to paint in the games my colleagues prepared, and the fancy sash my boyfriend @NicoNucu made for me ("We need more women in science!").
I also had the honour to hammer my name into the support structure of our experiment: https://elk.zone/qoto.org/@quantumsensing/112246555112552249 @quantumsensing
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 😎

It's been a bit of a long ride so can I maybe interest you in some atom source technology for quantum inertial sensors?
Alex Herbst's work on high flux K-39 is now in PRR
How do you feel about our new M.Sc. Quantum Engineering trailer? 🤓
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!
