In this weeks QLM seminar, our very own @tobifranzen.bsky.social tells us about his fellowship plans to use micro cavities to efficiently couple single photons emitted from Yb atoms into standard telecom fibres, in the hopes of generating entanglement between Yb qubits.

@durhamqlm.bsky.social members all ready to Celebrate Science this week at @locomotionshd.bsky.social ! Come and see how we use light to identify atoms and make your own colour-changing picture using nothing but sellotape 💡🌈

PhD project descriptions for a 2026 start at @durhamqlm.bsky.social are now live at durham-qlm.uk/join/phdrecr... - including a funded project on my new experiment! If you're interested in working with single atoms and single photons to build quantum networks, get in touch and visit our open day.

The first bits of my new experiment have started arriving and showing signs of life - the tones shown on a spectrum analyser here will eventually control the positions of single atoms.

Got around to building a little website for my new activity on quantum networking with Yb at @durhamqlm.bsky.social, funded by my EPSRC Quantum Technologies Career Acceleration Fellowship: durham-qlm.uk/research/tec...
