Vinnie winnin'

As a sphere, I couldn't handle the social pressure exhibited by unit spheres. Unrealistic stereotypes also exist in the world of spheres.

Klasse, Habeck ein Buch geschrieben, in dem er das BWV durcharbeitet schön mit Harmonieanalyse und allem drum und dran, dem Titel nach zu urteilen. Werde ich mir auf jeden Fall geben!

No chatbot will ever trigger the same feelings in me as clippy did

A team led by physicist Chien-Shiung Wu obtained the first experimental confirmation of “parity violation,” in the decay of Cobalt-60, #OTD in 1956. Her theory colleagues received a Nobel for the prediction, but she was left off the prize. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬 Image: Smithsonian Institution Archives

In 1994 when I worked at Kitt Peak National Observatory, @todlauer.bsky.social made an off-hand comment about grape plasma in the microwave. Being an experimental physicist (read as “nerd”) I immediately tried it during night lunch. Who knew it was come to this? 🧪🔭⚛️

Chess is now taken over completely by the youth. Amazing

I like friends. Having them, etc.

Science bluesky is so serious - feels more like LinkedIn sometimes. I am also not helping though

Data data data

LOA's QUANTUM group, with @kittenstate.bsky.social as lead author, have ou published a Phy.Rev.X Quantum-paper, proving high-harmonic-generatio to produce non-classical light states. loa.ensta-paris.fr/2024/11/12/e... doi.org/10.1103/PRXQ...

Können die bei phoenix mal zu linder rüberschalten? So Champions League Konferenz mäßig

New pre-print out! Following up on our most recent work, we analyse the nonclassical state from high-harmonic generation. Estimation of the squeezer distribution and Schmidt number further confirm HHG as a promising quantum source of light. arxiv.org/abs/2411.02311

when a baby is screaming in public i think about them as a little metal singer and honestly it does help

Pretty figures win over referees

Implementing corrections to a draft. A } is missing somewhere now. It doesn't compile anymore. I had better starts to a Friday.

Got my first article accepted! It will be soon available on PRX Q. Studying the photon statistics of high-harmonic generation, we found surprising results. Apparently, HHG light can be squeezed and has non-classical properties ! journals.aps.org/prxquantum/a...

Time Tagging technology is still far from reaching Planck time resolution, and it will probably remain like that

What's the impact factor of 'GEOlino' ?

First glance at new data: Wow, that looks actually pretty nice ! Second glance at new data: omg, what is happening I don't get it

Do a PhD, they said. You will get to use the latest high-tech. Found while cleaning the lab.

First time having an article in peer review feels like: Why so critical? Can't you just trust me, please?

Grand Swiss was pretty exciting to follow - so nice seeing the 'youngsters' quickly establishing themselves at the top. Incredible tournament by vidit.

"Being a physics researcher is very demanding but very rewarding as well. I am strongly against the idea that you need to devote your whole life to your career. You can have a family and a life outside physics and still be successful in your field." I feel this is sometimes not stressed enough.

Awesome choice of laureates! This field is getting some well deserved recognitio. Glad to be working on it - still many open questions left to answer

This is impressive on atleast 5 + 1 levels.
