Autumn school on Clocks, Cavities and Fundamental Physics - 15-20 September 2019

The iqClock Quantum Flagship consortium is pleased to announce the upcoming Autumn School on “Clocks, Cavities, and Fundamental Physics”, which will take place at the Institute of Physics, Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń, Poland, 15-20 September 2019.
 
The school welcomes students and postdocs from all over the world, and will focus on experiments and concepts that lie on the border of future optical atomic clocks, fundamental physics table-top experiments, and cosmology. Topics covered by the school include

• Cold atom techniques
• Cosmology
• Fundamental physics
• Optical Clocks
• Optical cavities
• Cavity QED
• Optical atomic clocks in industry

In addition to the lectures, the program will give ample room for participants to present and discuss their own research with their colleagues and senior researchers, during the breaks, poster session and social event.
 
Registration for the school is open until August 15, acceptance is on a rolling basis. The fee is EUR 200 and covers coffee breaks, lunches and the social program. Convenient accommodation can be booked through the conference secretary. Many choices for dinner are available at restaurants in downtown Toruń.
 
For more information on the program, speakers, and registration, please see http://ccfp.pl/.  We look forward to welcome you at the CCFP autumn school!

28 May 2019 - Preparing the autumn school

Mark your calendars: the iqClock autumn school on clocks, cavities and fundamental physics will be organized in Torún, Poland, from 15-20 September 2019. The schedule is still being completed, but if you're interested you can already check out the web site and the poster for the school. Keep an eye on this space for more info once the program is finalized!

26 April 2019 - PhD Chun-Chia Chen

Congratulations to Chun-Chia Chen (UvA) for obtaining his PhD! In his thesis work, Chun-Chia made important contributions to developing the ultracold Sr source that will be used for the superradiant lasers built by the iqClock consortium.

31 March 2019 - iqClock at DPG Spring Meeting

iqClock was present at the DPG Spring Meeting in Regensburg, Germany. Here we see iqClock's Rodrigo González Escudero (UvA) explaining atom lasers to his colleagues.

29 March 2019 - First iqClock preprint

The first iqClock-related preprint, Lasing on a narrow transition in a cold thermal strontium ensemble, was pre-published on the arXiv today. The authors are Stefan A. Schäffer, Mikkel Tang, Martin R. Henriksen, Asbjørn A. Jørgensen, Bjarke T. R. Christensen and Jan W. Thomsen (NBI Copenhagen). The paper was submitted to Physical Review A.
