@tgmn__ @AndreasAtETH this recording has single handedly cured any insomnia I'll ever have in the future

It is all coming full circle. The snake is eating its tail. I find myself describing derivations and problems as ‘beautiful’ and ‘elegant’ to my Modern Physics students while they laugh at my enthusiasm for rotation matrices.

It's so silly when journals ask you to upload your tex source files and figures and then don't allow you to just upload a zipped folder containing everything.

Publishing houses, I am begging you to change.

[Victoria A Norman @VictoriaANorman]

If you're interested in what I've been doing over the past few years, take a look at our arxiv preprint. I fulfilled a lifelong dream of building something novel enough that I could backronym it myself!

#Rlab updates: We built something cool! As in - really cool. 1.56 Kelvin!

ICECAP - an Integrated Cryogenic system for Emission, Collection And Photon-detection

Ever wondered how to open a photonic band gap in a triangular waveguide? Our new publication lead by @PrantaSaha01 shows how to design toblerone-like photonic crystals and apply them as filters in integrated color center photonic circuits

Hey @APSMeetings , this is ridiculous! This is A67..

[Marina Radulaski @MarinaRadulaski]

Check out #Rlab talks at @APSMeetings #APSMarch this Tuesday and Thursday! @VictoriaANorman will present on integration SNSPDs into an optical cryostat for single photon spectroscopy @UCDavisECE and the simulation of cavity QED on of NISQ computers with @MKMontheLattice @ETH_en

#Rlab updates: check out our News & Views article on all-photonic switching first-authored by @VictoriaANorman today in @NaturePhysics. We contextualize an intriguing quantum dot waveguide QED result by Hanna Le Jeannic, Peter Lodahl, et al.

The feminine urge to get a PhD in STEM

[Victoria A Norman @VictoriaANorman]

Today I’ve managed to spill tea, coffee, and soup on my shirt. I would feel embarrassed holding office hours dressed like this, but honestly when people find out that I’m a physics grad student, they often seem surprised I can even dress myself in the mornings.

[Victoria A Norman @VictoriaANorman]

@j_hirtenstein You’re amazing! Yesterday’s theme was so bonkers it took me such a long time to figure it out!

[Victoria A Norman @VictoriaANorman]

@DTstarkid My dad is an astro theorist. I ended up in physics, yes, but on the complete opposite end in condensed matter experiment/quantum information! So your mileage may vary.

[Victoria A Norman @VictoriaANorman]

@CLEOConf Hey! I’m signed up for a short course going on right now (SC479: Introduction to Quantum Optics (SC479)) and when I go to the conference website and click ‘get started’ I’m redirected to the description page with no link. My lab mates have the same issue!

[Victoria A Norman @VictoriaANorman]

Finally back in the lab together!!!

For me,this is the first time in the lab. Coolest lab and coolest colleagues @sridhar_majety, @VictoriaANorman, @pattonjt! See you soon @MarinaRadulaski

@PattyBolan @vistrait Honestly, I’m still haunted by my evals from my first quarter teaching.
