Birthday celebrations for Anton Zeilinger in Vienna

Here I am ready to celebrate Anton Zeilinger’s 80th birthday, honorary doctorate recipient from OIST a few years ago. Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Anton!

We’re recruiting! Looking to hire a postdoc/staff scientist in cold atoms - the position is experimental so you must have lab skills in cold atoms or ions. The project is trapping Rydberg atoms next to nanofibres using holographic traps. Come to beautiful Okinawa for the next step of your career!

Friendly reminder: If you are rejected for a job—whether it's a postdoc, faculty, or industry role—commenting on the interviewer's appearance in your response is wildly inappropriate. It’s unprofessional and unwelcome. Don't do it.

The world’s culchiest airport is Okinawa where farmer vegetable stalls are set up 😂

Kicking off our 24-hour coverage, the OIST Student Chapter brought together researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology to foster collaboration, spark new ideas, and create a platform for discussing advancements and challenges in optics.
