In 1934 already worried about brain rot! Lewis Mumford: “…the radio, the telephone, the daily newspaper clamor for attention, and amid the host of stimuli to which people are subjected, it becomes more and more difficult to absorb and cope with any one part of the environment…”

I’m at APS March Meeting today until Friday if anyone wants to meet up! ⚛️ Come see my talk on Friday at 9:12am room 163! I’ll be presenting our recent work on SiC NV centers in nanopillars.

🚨 #Rlab preprint alert

🥁🥁🥁 We have observed photon blockade in a cavity with multiple emitters i.e. a Tavis-Cummings system!

Collaboration with Berkeley Lab Advanced Quantum Testbed and MIT Lincoln Labs on analog quantum simulation to probe cavity QED in microwave domain.

from a side project I'm working on: the shallow water equations are a system of hyperbolic PDEs that describe the movement of water when the depth is much less than the horizontal dimension. you can solve them pretty easily in julia. here's a 1D tub of water being shaken sinusoidally.
