Great day back in Durham visiting @durhamqlm.bsky.social to give a seminar on QEC and our recent work at Quantum Software Lab. Also fun to discuss the fault-tolerance of the Welsh towname Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch w/ @ifanghughes.bsky.social @tobifranzen.bsky.social

Fun morning running lab tours for researchers from the Advanced Instrumentation section at @durhamphysics.bsky.social around a selection of @durhamqlm.bsky.social labs (pictured QLM colleague Alex Matthies explaining the CaF experiment)

In this weeks QLM seminar, our very own @tobifranzen.bsky.social tells us about his fellowship plans to use micro cavities to efficiently couple single photons emitted from Yb atoms into standard telecom fibres, in the hopes of generating entanglement between Yb qubits.

@durhamqlm.bsky.social members all ready to Celebrate Science this week at @locomotionshd.bsky.social ! Come and see how we use light to identify atoms and make your own colour-changing picture using nothing but sellotape 💡🌈

PhD project descriptions for a 2026 start at @durhamqlm.bsky.social are now live at durham-qlm.uk/join/phdrecr... - including a funded project on my new experiment!
If you're interested in working with single atoms and single photons to build quantum networks, get in touch and visit our open day.

PhD applications are open! We'd love to have you visit Durham Physics to find out more about the(currently!) 17 available projects we have for October 2026 start.
Our open day is November 26th, we hope to see you there!
Find project descriptions and open day sign up links below.

The first bits of my new experiment have started arriving and showing signs of life - the tones shown on a spectrum analyser here will eventually control the positions of single atoms.

Got around to building a little website for my new activity on quantum networking with Yb at @durhamqlm.bsky.social, funded by my EPSRC Quantum Technologies Career Acceleration Fellowship: durham-qlm.uk/research/tec...
