Day 1 of #ICOLS2023 !
We heard some very exciting invited talks about the latest developments in testing fundamental physics with #quantum systems and using arrays of cold molecules or atoms for quantum computation and simulation.
Then there was the poster session where I presented the latest updates on our #VLBAI #AtomInterferometry apparatus and preliminary results of my matter-wave lensing experiments with rubidium.
There were so many interesting and exciting discussions!

Now this is how you make happy grad students. Today's goal is to pump down again 💪

13 years ago I bought a notebook during ICAP in Australia. Haven't regularly used it but recently reactivated it. What better occasion could there have been than filling the last pages with notes from Mark Kasevich's colloquium. What an honor to present #VLBAI to him!

Over at the #VLBAI facility in Hannover we could use a hand for commencing operations of the 10m baseline! Please check out the newly opened position here:

I need you to cancel *all* other appointments, we're gonna have to talk about #VLBAI

Sharing this again, because it has recently been illustrated with a few new photos:

I gave a short interview to explain why we are building the #VLBAI - a 10m high free fall tower for #UltracoldAtoms and #AtomInterferometry. I talked about how this works, why this is interesting for #Gravimetry, and what kind of challenges we need to overcome!

Today, I gave a lab tour of our #VLBAI (Very Long Baseline #AtomInterferometry) facility to a class of high school students!
Their teacher was really enthusiastic, but I felt like talking to a wall of bored faces for the students - but then they asked quite a few clever questions ;)

I hope they went home with some idea how #Gravimetry with #QuantumSensors works and why Bose-Einstein condensates are cool (literally)!

[I also brought my new lab assistant to the tour]
