My group's first @PhysRevLett is published today -- congrats to the quantum memory team for this work. In it, we push an atomic ensemble to absorb and reemit an optical signal faster than the natural lifetime, via the atoms' superradiant "teamwork" journals.aps.org/prl/abstrac…

Superradiance-Mediated Photon Storage for Broadband Quantum Memory

Superradiance, characterized by the collective, coherent emission of light from an excited ensemble of emitters, generates photonic signals on timescales faster than the natural lifetime of an...

Congratulations to James Pinfold, co-author with an international team including @UAlberta_CSJ's Marc de Montigny of a new paper on the search for magnetic monopoles, published in the journal Nature: nature.com/articles/s41586-0… @UofAResearch @ualbertaScience

Search for magnetic monopoles produced via the Schwinger mechanism

Nature - At the Large Hadron Collider, the MoEDAL experiment shows no evidence for magnetic monopoles generated via the Schwinger mechanism at integer Dirac charges below 3, and suggests a lower...

Three members of @ualbertaPhysics will be working with international teams on data from the James Webb Space Telescope! @UAlbertaScience #JWST
NASA Webb Telescope
@NASAWebb24 Jan 2022
🏠 Home, home on Lagrange! We successfully completed our burn to start #NASAWebb on its orbit of the 2nd Lagrange point (L2), about a million miles (1.5 million km) from Earth. It will orbit the Sun, in line with Earth, as it orbits L2. blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2022/01/… #UnfoldTheUniverse

Animation: Webb Pan Past at L2 Point

This animation illustrates the location of Webb's destination, the second Lagrange point: It shows Earth in the mid-ground, and the Sun in the background.

Woo, that's my supervisor! I'm not working on this hyperbolic band theory project, but the question at the heart of it is super cool - how would quantum mechanics work in a crystal lattice in an 'Escher-esque' hyperbolic space? Here's the paper on it: science.org/doi/10.1126/scia…

Hyperbolic band theory

The band theory of solids—including Bloch waves, crystal momentum, and energy bands—is generalized to hyperbolic lattices.
