A team of researchers in Florence observed the formation of #quantum droplet arrays in ultra-cold atom mixtures. The phenomenon is caused by surface tension, leading to the breakup of atomic filaments into droplets. Read the study, published in Physical Review Letters: bit.ly/4c1nUF1 #CNR

I've called it wrong my whole life!

Honored to receive the NQSTI Prize for "2024 Best Publication" in #Quantum Science and Technology, alongside my former colleague G. Biagioni 🙌 In the paper we studied the Josephson effect in a #supersolid measuring its superfluid fraction! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Just arrived in Rome for the NQSTI congress. Looking forward to many fruitful discussions in the broader context of the italian #quantum science ⚛️

As a 0- universal donor, I’m using the time before my next routine donation to dive into European blood donation trends 🩸 Here's a bunch of data from www.centronazionalesangue.it/wp-content/u...

Thrilled to co-editing a special issue of #Atoms on #Quantum Dynamics and Ultracold Atoms ❄️⚛️🧪 We invite colleagues to submit contributions on quantum simulation, physics at ultra-low temperatures, quantum phase transitions and out-of-equilibrium dynamics, mixtures! Info www.mdpi.com/journal/atom...

Here's a bunch of single strontium atoms trapped in tweezers! Every shot in the video shows the fluorescence of atoms with 40% single-atom occupancy, a key step toward defect-free arrays for #Quantum simulations! More on #SrRydberg team: quantumgases.lens.unifi.it/exp/sr-rydberg 1/🧵

🚀Big news! The #YAO2025 invited speaker lineup is now live on our website!🎉🎉 Check out the amazing researchers joining us in Innsbruck this July. Don't miss out—registration is still open! 🔗: yao.iqoqi.at #QuantumScience #AtomOptics @iqoqi.bsky.social @oeaw.bsky.social @uniinnsbruck.bsky.social

Lanthanides are not only good for #supersolids! Very happy to have the opportunity to learn more about atomic physics with Dysprosium ⚛️🧪

Roughly 6,000 readers answered our poll, with many declaring that Bluesky was nicer, kinder and less antagonistic to science than X https://go.nature.com/42tH8Ai

Together with Tanya Zelevinsky, Sebastian Will and Tijs Karman we are organizing a summer workshop on Cold #Molecules for Fundamental Physics and Many-Body #Quantum Science at Aspen Center For Physics. Join us to learn about and contribute to the latest developments in this exciting field!

Our colleague G. Roati is organizing an ECT* workshop in the beautiful #Trento next May, together with P. Magierski, G. Wlazłowski (Warsaw University of Technology), and B. Haskell (Nicolaus Copernicus Astronomical Center). Info and applications 👉 tinyurl.com/nonequilibrium

🌟 Happy New Year from all of us! 🌟 Here’s to a year full of smiles, adventures, and mind-blowing #quantum breakthroughs! 🚀 Let’s make this year extraordinary!

Merry #quantum Christmas! 🎄❄️

Let's connect! #Quantum

Working on notes about #supersolids for a master course brings me back to a few years ago, when I faced as a student this fascinating phase of matter! #QuantumSky #quantum #ultracold #atoms

This but with highlighters 😍

Train rides to @dysprosiumlab.bsky.social are great in this season 🌫

Is mathematical illiteracy even perceived as a problem, like functional illiteracy? Filled by data and statistics from politics, and news, the widespread rejection of math by the average person is alarming. Maybe we need to change teaching? See bsky.app/profile/stevenstrogatz.com/post/3ldco3pbz7k2t

Next week we'll have the pleasure to host Emanuele Distante from @icfonians.bsky.social for the first seminar of the FILM: FIrenze Light-Matter series! Emanuele will present the talk "Quantum network with neutral atom arrays coupled to an optical cavity". #QuantumSky #Atoms

Next summer, join us in Warsaw for the Workshop on Ultracold Molecules, co-organized with Simon Cornish and Candela Foundation! 🌍 Save the date to explore groundbreaking advances in molecular formation and applications in quantum physics, cold chemistry, and precision measurements. ✨

Researchers have proposed to model cuprate and nickelate superconductors using single-layer and bilayer optical lattices, respectively. These simulations could aid the design of new materials with high superconducting temperatures.

@physicsworld.bsky.social top 10 is super cool this year!

With small fluctuations come big responsibilities! Happy birthday Margaret Geller 🎉

Nature is so twisted! A super interesting morning read 📖

This makes me sad

Neat!

Looking for a comprehensive guide to #quantum mixtures? Here it is!

Academic people finally find a home?

Guys, if you haven't tried, this is a really fun idea! Finally a light and entertaining use for AI in social media, which does not involve taking over governments or rolling the world back 50 years. 10/10 👌 blueskyroast.com

#overleaf is down, but you can enjoy this double rainbow 🌈 🌈 from the CNR research area in Pisa! (triple if you count the reflection in the puddle)

As crazy as it gets

Very fitting view of Brunelleschi's dome from the top floor as well!

Fun fact, this very room have been designed by the famous architect Brunelleschi 🏛

Alessio Recati explaining high school students basics of quantum mechanics: how an atom looks like? It's time to change the visualization of atoms starting from school textbooks! #INOSymposium24

Mixed feelings about this story.. from one side it's extremely fascinating, but yet it seems unreal that a brilliant scientist like Burnell didn't got recognition for her research until very late in her career. 😮‍💨

Just finished my first #quantum teaching experience in a master’s course! Grateful to Prof. Fattori and Prof. Modugno for letting me give two lectures on #supersolids: from the quantum phase transition to measuring the superfluid fraction. And I survived the students' questions! 🙌

Later today we'll host the seminar by Alberto Biella from Pitaevskii BEC Center, CNR-INO and Università di Trento "Experiments on waveguide QED with nanofibers" Thanks to LENS, Unifi Fisica and Luca Celardo for organizing this seminar.

A new preprint out for our #Yb team "Measuring Hall voltage and Hall resistance in an atom-based quantum simulator" 🙌 Well done to @leonardofallani.bsky.social and coworkers! Read more on Yb lab: quantumgases.lens.unifi.it/exp/yb Check out the paper: arxiv.org/abs/2411.09744
