Quantum physicist at the QOT Centre for Quantum Optical Technologies and Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw. https://qodl.eu/
Interested in quantum sensing, Rydberg atoms, quantum memories and cavity QED and quantum optomechanics.
Last week I visited @unistuttgart.bsky.social PI5 division, presented our fresh results from QOT UW (qot.uw.edu.pl) and discussed collaboration both with Stuttgart and CFT PAN.

A new all-optical radio receiver using Rydberg atoms enables highly sensitive, non-invasive detection of microwave fields without metal components, offering precise calibration and miniaturization potential. doi.org/g965h6
Quantum radio antenna uses Rydberg states for sensitive, all-optical signal detection
A team from the Faculty of Physics and the Center for Quantum Optical Technologies at the University of Warsaw has developed a new type of all-optical radio receiver based on the fundamental properties of Rydberg atoms.

Our exceptional students at QOT defended four theses today at the Faculty of Physics UW under my guidance!
The 3 MSc theses concerned:
1. Error-corrected Quantum Metrology by Bartek Niewelt - see arxiv.org/abs/2505.01506

Fresh results from our group at QOT UW & Faculty of Physics UW! Merging quantum metrology and computing, we show a microwave sensing protocol, where Rydberg atoms are simultaneously used to correct photon-loss errors.

Great to visit my second alma mater Niels Bohr Institute of the University of Copenhagen 🇩🇰 and share my progress with the excellent team of the Quantum Optics section at NBI.
The weather was... traditional... 🌧️🌬️

Are you tired of not being able to apply the RWA in your atomic system, because there is no time-independent frame because you have many different transitions leading to the same level? Here we have a solution, particularly useful for Rydberg receivers!

Atomic-optical interferometry in fractured loops: a general solution for Rydberg radio frequency receivers
The development of novel radio frequency atomic receivers brings attention to the theoretical description of atom-light interactions in sophisticated, multilevel schemes. Of special interest, are the ...

Nasz zespół #QOT_UW #UniWarszawski otrzymał dziś grant #OPUS z @NCN_PL na badania polarytonów rydbergowskich. Teraz zaprojektujemy oddziaływania polarytonów tak, aby docelowo były przydane dla badań nad materiałami jak i naszego zrozumienia fizyki rydbergowskiej.

Predatory publisher MDPI is trying to influence the Polish government to prevent them from giving low scores for predatory journals, asking scientists to support them in this letter. I encourage Polish scientists to do exactly the opposite, and support the current project proposed by our government.

On another note, here is my USS Enterprise built in Factorio.

Just got the @michal.parniak.pl custom handle linked to my domain. Next thing to consider is the own Personal Data Server.
I'm probably having too much fun with this than I should.

It seems exciting to see @bsky.app get into the mainstream, saying as someone who loves to deal with various quantum protocols rather than just a single platform.
