Feltrinelli Prize Awarded to Francesca Ferlaino
This week quantum physicist Francesca Ferlaino will receive the Antonio Feltrinelli Giovani Prize in physics. This is the first time the prize, valued at 50,000 Euro, will be awarded to young scientists. It recognizes the achievements of Italian scholars under the age of 40 who have achieved results of outstanding originality and international significance.
Claudia and Gabriele are Master of Science!
Claudia and Gabriele succesfully defended their master theses in Pisa and recieved their master’s degrees from the University of Pisa. Congratulations to both of you and enjoy your vacation, before you two will start again in our group in January!
Goodbye Jan and Giulia
The last year passed by really quickly and unfortunately Giulia’s and Jan’s time here in Innsbruck is over and they are heading towards new goals. All we can do is saying thank you, for a very nice year and wish you all the best for your future. Needless to say you are always welcome here in IBK.
Ciao-ciao and Tschüss 🙂
Prof. Blair Blakie visits our group
From June until August Blair Blakie, Professor at the University of Otago NZ, is visiting our group here in Innsbruck to work with us on various topics of dipolar quantum gases. Regarding his wide-spread knowledge from optical lattices, rotons, droplets, spinor condensates, mixtures,… we are looking forward to a productive time with him!
Welcome to Innsbruck, Blair!
Crossover from a BEC to a macrodroplet
Together with our theory colleagues from Hannover, we have investigated the formation of a macrodroplet state in an ultracold bosonic gas of erbium atoms.
