Tomorrow we'll start a series of tutorials on advanced techniques aimed to share useful ideas for our daily lab life.

The first topic will be #Laser locking, presented by Vladislav Gavryusev from our #SrRydberg team!

New year, new cycle of #Quantum Gases seminars!
We'll start with Igor Ferrier-Barbut from Institut d'Optique and @cnrs.bsky.social, presenting a recent work about "Collective light scattering on a chain of single atoms".

You can make movies showing the evolution of the diffracted field as done by @jacopobertolotti.com in this #PhysicsFactlet

#PhysicsFactlet
If you put apertures of different shapes in the path of a plane wave, you get different diffraction patterns. And with a bit of experience you can say a lot about the aperture shape just by looking at the diffraction pattern.

How many atoms make up a snowflake? ❄️

Our colleagues at Lithium Lab realized this animated Christmas card at the #quantum level with their unitary fermi gas (details in the replies)!
We join them in wishing everybody a nice holiday 🍾

2-dimensional analogies are often used to motivate physical concepts in our 3+1 dimensional world. But a world with 2 space and 1 time dimensions would look *very* different from our world

Some crucial differences:🧵 1/10

I had a hard time finding women physicists here. So I made a starter pack for #female and #under-represended #minorities in #physics, in short #FURMIP.
Please spread the word and
let me know if you would like to be added.
