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 🍌?

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?
Alex Herbst's work on high flux K-39 is now in PRR

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

The equality between toy and PhD instructions

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. 🥲
#FirstGen

#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!

My office computrer just upgraded #thunderbird to v115 and now I think I will die of too dense GUI paired with eye cancer or downgrade.

Anyone out there still using @WolframResearch alpha? Was utterly disappointed by the app today and - unsurprisingly - #chatgpt did the job.

There it is. The missing piece completes @VLBAI_Hannover. Seismic attenuation system now installed.

Crazy midnight effort by @systemofapwne, @iamVishu_G and many others

Our newest team member decided she wouldn't have to stay until the final showdown but we can say as much as that there are big @VLBAI_Hannover news ahead

Anyone?

I wish I could process arXiv preprints at that rate and in quasi-real time 🤷‍♀️

🔬✨ @derherbstistda strikes again: Our preprint on the fast creation of high-flux nearly Heisenberg-limited matter waves is now available on @arxiv! 📚🚀
