Hi! 👋I'm Tom, an experimental quantum physicist in the final year of my PhD @OxfordPhysics & @UCLQuantum CDT. Trying to make #Quantum Technologies with lasers and atomic physics⚛️ Passionate about STEM & university access/outreach. Enjoy #scicomm, playing music 🎺& rugby🏉

.@QuanTomHird giving his talk in 20 minutes on #Quantum Memories at #CLEO2020. Tune in for what should be an excellent presentation!
Check out my talk @CLEOConf at 2am UK time, 6pm Pacific Time talking about #Quantum Memories (FW4C.5). First online conference talk! Whilst sad not to be able to go to California I've so far had the best conference refreshments (and attended some great talks) #phdchat #CLEO20

Excited to be demonstrating #QuantumTech @CheltSciFest on Sunday with awesome @Ion_busters and @ShannonSNicley as part of @NQIT_QTHub #QuantumCity in the Cyberzone
We're going to be demonstrating #TrappedIon #QuantumComputation this Sunday @CheltSciFest. Also going to be joined by fellow quantum tweeters @QuanTomHird and @ShannonSNicley from @NQIT_QTHub. If you're in the area, pop round and have a chat.

For #physics #teachers #outreach I'm looking for safe <1mW lasers for outreach - from a European supplier. Can anyone help me?! #AcademicTwitter

Rather than asking why women leave Physics, this study is trying to figure out why we stay! It doesn’t take long so why not help improve the stats 😃 docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
You want warm vapour quantum memories? We got em! You're into noise-free protocols? We got you covered! Scalability? Easy! We got it all. Check out: Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Scalable Quantum Memories for Quantum Networks nature.com/naturecareers/job…

My beautiful colleagues wrote a (mostly) theoretical proposal on coherent filtering of quantum dot photons! Out now! arxiv.org/pdf/1902.07720.pdf Experiments are coming soon...very soon! @TheRealDNation

As part of our 'Marie Curious' girls-in-STEM day, I've been filming some thoroughly excellent women in science around @UniofOxford answering Five Questions about themselves. The first four videos are now online 👇 Enjoy! youtube.com/channel/UCe9QW8R… physics.ox.ac.uk/mariecuriou…

The talk schedule for Stargazing Oxford (26/1/19) is ready and online. We have a great line-up of speakers on a variety of space topics. Also our own spin on the panel shows 'Call my bluff' and 'Only Connect'!. We hope to see you there: www2.physics.ox.ac.uk/events…

Roy Glauber 1925-2018. Glauber's quantum theory of optical coherence set the stage for a plethora of advances in quantum optics over the past half century. His light still shines bright. osa.org/en-us/about_osa/news…

Physics at home! 🏠 My parents have a new lamp; as the camera frame rate doesn’t match the electrical frequency that powers the lamp, artificial flickers & band lines form. Can eliminate by matching frequencies & it doesn’t happen with natural light. Thanks interference! 🎥 💡
