🚀 Supersolid spins into synchrony! 💫
Supersolids just got even cooler: @ferlainogroup.bsky.social discovered that when supersolids are rotated, #quantum vortices cause the precession and revolution of the superfluid crystal structure to synchronize their motion. 🌀

Theoretical physicist Torsten Zache has been awarded a Starting Grant by the @erc.europa.eu for his research into #quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories. He aims to help overcome limitations in their numerical investigation.

Congratulations, Torsten 👏

We went on a trip to Seefeld together with our colleagues from the Departments of Experimental & Theoretical Physics at the University of Innsbruck – over 100 team members in total, including a few kids. We were lucky with the weather 🌞 A perfect day that combined team spirit & the beauty of nature!
