ICAP2024

The official account of the 28th International Conference on Atomic Physics, 14th-19th July 2024 in London, UK.

[Imperial Science @ImperialSci]

We had the delight of welcoming back science writer and @ImperialPhysics alumnus: Dr Simon Singh (@SLSingh)! 🧪✨

He kicked off @icap2024 by giving a talk on his bestsellers 📚 and his mission to nurture the next generation of mathematicians 👩‍🔬

Thanks to @UltracoldTiff and @UlrichCamPhy for a fabulous workshop!

[Cambridge MBQD @CaMBQD]

This week we had the pleasure of hosting 85 scientists for our @icap2024 satellite conference on Cold Atoms and Molecules for Fundamental Physics at @JesusCollegeCam.

Many thanks to all the speakers, poster presenters and participants for 3 days of inspiring discussions!

[Prof. Síle Nic Chormaic @SileNicChormaic]

Last week I’d the honour to chair a great session at #ICAP2024 #ICAP28 - was this the pinnacle of my career? My first #ICAP was no.16 in Windsor, Ontario in 1998 and I attend when I can (finances permitting)

Great news! 🎉 Sarah got awarded the "Outstanding poster prize" at @icap2024 ⚛️!

The title of her poster was: "Observation of stripe dynamics in a supersolid spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate".

Many congratulations to Sarah 👏 and to the potassium team!! 🍾

It’s official! The next ICAP will be in Wuhan, China in 2026 - look out for the icap29 website coming soon!

[ICAP2024 @icap2024]

Our final talk is reserved for the IUPAP prize talk - this is by Matthew Norcia from @Atom_Computing: Iterative Assembly, Mid-Circuit Measurement, and High-Fidelity Gates with Alkaline Earth Atoms

[Nicolò Antolini @n_antolini]

So excited for this 28th @icap2024 conference! It has been an incredible opportunity to present our work and share ideas with lots of colleagues 🎓🔥

[ICAP2024 @icap2024]

After our coffee break we have Zheng-Tian Lu from the University of Science and Technology of China: Identifying Old Ice and Water with Single-Atom Counting

[Dy Lab @DysprosiumLab]

Here's some pictures from @gmodugno_ talk at @icap2024 about our recent results on the superfluid fraction of the #supersolid!

[ICAP2024 @icap2024]

Closing the session is Charles Brown from @Yale: A 10-Fold Rotation-Symmetric Quasicrystal Quantum Simulator

[AION atom interferometry detector @AION_Science]

AION team members (past and present!) from almost all our cold atom labs have had a great time at @icap2024 this week!

[ICAP2024 @icap2024]

Next in the quantum many-body physics session is Giovanni Modugno from LENS: Measuring the superfluid fraction of a dipolar supersolid via the Josephson effect

[ICAP2024 @icap2024]

It's our last day! Our first speaker is Selim Jochim from the University of Heidelberg: Building macroscopic quantum systems, atom by atom.

How do effective properties of quantum mechanical systems emerge form when their size is increased atom by atom?
