Ever considered a Master thesis with us? 🌟 LENS offers 10 scholarships of €3,000 for 6-month internships (April–December 2025) in cutting-edge research!

#MasterThesis #Scholarships #QuantumResearch #STEM #LENS

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".

🌟 Happy New Year from all of us! 🌟
Here’s to a year full of smiles, adventures, and mind-blowing #quantum breakthroughs! 🚀
Let’s make this year extraordinary!

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.

As women in academia, having children can feel impossible. Talking about it makes us feel less alone The struggle is “balancing their careers not just with motherhood, but with what comes before: relationships and planning for a family,” these postdocs write

in #academia, we often have these discussions privately, so it’s great to see female colleagues addressing this topic publicly on major platforms 👏🏻 #womeninacademia

P. Lombardi and @parsek-17.bsky.social at CNR-INO symposium presenting a perspective on the new dysprosium experiment ongoing IN #Florence 🙌

Very fitting view of Brunelleschi's dome from the top floor as well!

Yet another beautiful location to discuss science! ✨

Tomorrow the annual CNR-INO symposium will take place in #Florence! Many researcher from LENS will join the conversation with contributions ranging from ultracold quantum gases to photonics.
Let's shape the future of #optics together!🔎

Exciting times ahead! ⚛️

Hello (quantum) world!
We are a network of research groups exploring #ultracold #atoms, #ions, #molecules & #mixtures, delving into fundamental physics, condensed matter & quantum simulation.

Follow us for updates on fundamental physics and cutting-edge research! 🚀⚛️
