That’s a wrap!

Thank you everybody for attending, speaking, sponsoring, exhibiting, volunteering, or otherwise interacting with #ICAP2022.

We’ll see you in two years for #ICAP2024 in London! #LetsGoLondon

@PhysMossman Thanks for tuning in ❤️

[Quantum Networks Team at LKB Paris @QuantumNet_lkb]

Great poster sessions @icap2022 ! Jérémy Berroir and Adrien Bouscal @badry96 presented our #waveguideQED works based on nanofiber and photonic-crystal waveguide. A wonderful week in #Toronto ! @lkb_lab #DAALI #NanoStrong

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

Last but definitely not least, Jonathan Simon from @Stanford, speaking about the use of cavity quantum electrodynamics experiments in the context of both manybody physics and quantum information.

#ICAP2022

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

Our final session of #ICAP2022 is all about New Directions.

First up, Markus Greiner from @Harvard speaking about quantum simulation of Fermi-Hubbard dynamics and bosonic Laughlin states.

#ICAP2022

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

Following up Loic’s talk nicely, Debayan Mitra from @Columbia is the last speaker in this session, discussing laser cooling of ~polyatomic~ molecules.

Tracy Northrup's slide on a roadmap for levitated nanoparticles leaves me feeling again the urge to toot my supervisor #RayChiao's horn, recalling his wild ideas from 15 years ago about levitated "Millikan oil drops" & probes of #QuantumGravity: https://t.co/DUtWYWLKKZ

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

Next up, Loic Anderegg from @Harvard @harvardphysics speaking about laser cooled molecules and their use in quantum simulation and computation.

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

The last day of #ICAP2022 starts with our Cooling Beyond Atoms session.

Tracy Northup from @uniinnsbruck is speaking about cooking nanoparticules in ion traps.

Tracy also answered our questions in a blog earlier last month; check it out here https://t.co/RFjAqfu4ic

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

The last talk of the day comes from Vladan Vuletic (@MIT), speaking about a time-reversal-based measurement behind the standard quantum limit (SQL).

This is in the context of an experiment with Yb atoms which shows an improvement of 12 dB beyond the SQL.

#ICAP2022

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

Starting off our Metrology Session is Norman Yao from @UCBerkeley, presenting a Landau theory for spin squeezing.

#ICAP2022

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

The #ICAP2022 Book of Abstracts is now live!

Check it out: https://t.co/CePgAUFqJK

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

Next up, Eric Hessels from @YorkUPhysics @yorkuniversity.

Eric is overviewing measurements of the proton size, the fine-structure constant, and the electron electric dipole moment (eEDM).

Check out the article in the photo — it’s only 1 paragraph!

#ICAP2022

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

Our third and final Precision Measurements session starts with David Leibrandt from @NIST, speaking about searching for new physics with atomic clocks.

He’s speaking about the Al+ quantum logic clock, and a little bit about some other clocks (Mg+, Th).

The last special just-for-Twitter lunch recommendation: super-great vegetarian and vegan food at Fresh (326 Bloor St W).

7 minute walk west from the conference venue! #IACP2022

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

Next up is Zoe Yan from @PrincetonPhys @Princeton, speaking about quantum gas microscopy of polar molecules.

In case you missed it, Zoe also answered some of our questions in a blog last month: https://t.co/FPjfc4RWzk

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

Mike also broke the news: #ICAP2024 will be in London 👀👀

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

Our next session is all about Molecules. First up, Mike Tarbutt from @imperialcollege speaking about tests of fundamental physics using molecules.

#ICAP2022

[ICAP2022 @icap2022]

Mike’s group at Imperial are trapping CaF molecules in a magneto-optical trap (MOT).

There are other molecular MOTs: other CaF MOTs at @PrincetonPhys and @harvardphysics, YO at @JILAscience and others.
