After 88Sr, we have now also written a manuscript on 171Yb:
arxiv.org/abs/2509.04416
We hope it is useful and welcome feedback and comments on how we can improve it.
M Squared Lasers has become insolvent after nearly two decades in business and is now seeking potential buyers!

Right now we are focusing on writing a similar manuscript for 171Yb!

If you have any comments, please send us an email. We appreciate any feedback :)
With construction underway in our main building to expand lab space, we’re temporarily moving part of our work to the Quantum Incubator in Boulder. Excited to have access to some great lab space there ⚛️

Interesting comment in Atsushi Yamaguchi’s PhD thesis - wondering if they were in the lab when they found the transition? 😅

Our reference can now also be found on the Steck website: steck.us/alkalidata/

Great talk by Will Huie on coherent control of motional quanta for 3-qubit encoding in neutral ¹⁷¹Yb at the first meetup at the Quantum Incubator in Boulder!

I'm thrilled to share that today was my first day at Atom Computing in Boulder, CO!
I'm super happy to be here and excited to begin this new chapter.
Thanks to all of you who supported me over the past few months - your help made it possible for me to start this new job.
New home 🏡 Let me know when you are in Boulder, CO.
Happy to meet new people here :)
Such a cool place, so happy to be here for once and get some great lab tours. Really cool stuff happening here :)

Just posted a new reference document for strontium-88 on arXiv:
🔗 arxiv.org/abs/2507.10487
We put together a resource inspired by the Steck references for alkali atoms, but tailored for 88Sr. We’re keeping it on arXiv (not a journal) so it can evolve with the field.
Feedback is very welcome!
It’s been a great time at Menlo Systems, but now it’s time to say goodbye.
I’m excited for what’s next and looking forward to the adventures ahead!
Having a great time at the Laser World of Photonics :)

Who's attending Laser World of Photonics or the World of Quantum this week? I'll be there tomorrow - looking forward to reconnecting and meeting some new faces :)

Big optical clock comparison! ⏱️🌍 Very interesting results with 10 clocks in 6 countries. An important work toward redefining the second for the first time in 50+ years published in @optica.org
