Christopher J. Flower

PhD Candidate in Quantum Physics/Photonics and at the Joint Quantum Institute (@JQInews).

Working on new ways to engineer light and maybe(???) make use of it.

Haven't tweeted in a long time, but we put a new paper on ArXiv this week. It has some pretty pictures.

"do your own research" my guy do you know how hard research is

@ShahriarAghaei We usually try to avoid 2PA 😂 but now that I am doing some nonlinear experiments it is relevant again

[Christopher J. Flower @flowtonics]

@ShahriarAghaei Aside from that there is the unit for the 2PA cross-section, the Goeppert-Mayer

@ShahriarAghaei There is some debate over 'the curie', so maybe that counts for half?

@seanmcarroll @JenLucPiquant @JohnsHopkins Congratulations! I grew up around Baltimore and Hopkins, the area has a lot to offer.

@ExoplanetPete I'd guess the meanie physicists are probably in the latter grouping :)

[Christopher J. Flower @flowtonics]

@ExoplanetPete IMO the challenge of physics can do one of two things over time: it can humble you, or it can embitter you.

Irrational irritation: when someone makes a descriptive statement, and someone treats it as though they made a normative statement.

I remember first hearing about the #JWST in 2008, walking around the @stsci in Baltimore. (About the same time I was consuming all the Carl Sagan content I could find, so this video is fitting.) I was in 8th grade at the time. 5 years into my PhD and the #JamesWebb is finally up.

[NASA @NASA]

We don’t yet know what @NASAWebb will uncover. Will we get answers? Will we have more questions? One thing is certain: The story of us is a never-ending quest for knowledge.

As Carl Sagan said: “We can’t help it.” #UnfoldTheUniverse

Merry Christmas! We got you a new telescope.

The James Webb Space Telescope launched today, beginning a one-million-mile journey to see 13.5 billion years into the past. Follow @NASAWebb and join the quest to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/TlYpoUHdJu

[Christopher J. Flower @flowtonics]

Well, it finally happened. Can't wait to see what comes next. 🚀 #JamesWebbSpaceTelescope #JWST #JWSTmas

[Christopher J. Flower @flowtonics]

Take a break from doomscrolling to bask in one glorious fact: For the first time ever, the current year (2021) is also the planned launch year of the James Webb Space Telescope. 🚀 #NewYearNewMe

Update: still true... But may not last

@QlabYale If this happens you just rotate the lab faster in the other direction

[Christopher J. Flower @flowtonics]

@nick_farina Also turns out Nick Offerman has great range.

[Christopher J. Flower @flowtonics]

@nick_farina I enjoyed it even as a student of quantum (rare for quantum in tv/film). It gets a bit wacky to be sure, but it's a beautiful show visually and audibly.
