In September, Aaron installed a camera to assemble a timelapse of the lab's development --- it takes a picture every 30 minutes from a corner in the ceiling. Here are some shots from that over the past 4 months, as well as some closeups of our new science system!
Adam Kaufman has been awarded the 2016 DAMOP Thesis Prize for his outstanding thesis research on assembling neutral atoms in optical tweezers, work conducted in the Regal group at JILA. As part of this work, Kaufman and his coworkers developed an experiment that allowed the team to use laser cooling to assemble arrays of ground-state neutral atoms in optical tweezers.
Graduate student Adam Kaufman received one of the poster prizes awarded at this year's International Conference on Atomic Physics in Washington DC. His poster was entitled: "Atomic Hong-Ou-Mandel effect in tunnel-coupled optical tweezers".
