Escape into the wonders of physics
LabEscape is an escape room based on physics – I got the opportunity to explore it during the APS March meeting in Boston, where it was set up for one week away from its usual site in Urbana, Illinois.
The rise of open source in quantum physics research
Post by Nathan Shammah and Shahnawaz Ahmed.
Interactions: Zala Lenarcic
Zala is a postdoc at the University of California, Berkeley, trying to understand which unexpected properties of interacting systems can be triggered by non-equilibrium dynamics. She won a Nature Reviews Physics poster prize at the Quantum Dynamics of Disordered Interacting Systems conference.
Interactions: Damian Wozniak
Damian is a recent theoretical physics graduate. In September he will start his PhD with Dr Anna Posazhennikova at Royal Holloway University of London to work on nonequilibrium dynamics of bosons in optical lattices.
Interactions: Michael Baker
Michael Baker is a research fellow at Diamond Light Source and at the University of Manchester.
Interactions: Stefanie Reichert
Stefanie worked as an experimental particle physicist at CERN before moving to Berlin, where she just started as Associated Editor at Nature Physics.
Interactions: Manisha Thakurathi
Manisha is a postdoc in the group of Prof. Jelena Klinovaja and Prof. Daniel Loss at the University of Basel, Switzerland. She is a physicist by training and her research interest lies in understanding the topological aspects of different quantum systems.
Interactions: Marco Martini
Marco Martini is in the Materials Science Department of the University of Milano-Bicocca.
Interactions: Maria Vozmediano
Maria Vozmediano is in the Instituto de Ciencia de Materiales de Madrid and works on field theories in condensed matter physics.
