The theme of 2022: Powerful people fucking up after surrounding themselves with yes-men and ignoring reality:
- Putin invading Ukraine
- Liz Truss and her mini budget
- Elon Musk buying Twitter
- Mark Zuckerberg and his user-less Metaverse

Our new work unravelling the dynamics of two single photons wavepacket interacting with a quantum emitter is now on Nature Physics! doi.org/10.1038/s41567-022-0…

In other words: for 100% transmission you need a pulse which is almost continuous wave. Then removing the second mirror midway obviously messes up transmission.
Bandwidth. The pulse must be much longer in time than the cavity lifetime. When half the pulse has been transmitted part of the incoming pulse exists to the left of the cavity. Removing the right mirror will cut off the second half of the pulse.

Very happy to welcome Martin Hayhurst Appel to our research team as a postdoctoral fellow. Martin finished his PhD at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen and he will work on spin-photon #quantum interfaces in #Cambridge. – at Cambridge, England
When I become dictator for life, I will make it illegal for renting agencies to omit distance markings from floor plans.

Tip: if your superconducting qubit chip isn't working well (e.g. poor T1 times), simply take it out of the dilution fridge and blow on it to improve performance.

What's something that people say in your field that sounds like it's science fiction but is actually completely true?
I'll start: temperature is just imaginary time

Our latest paper shows how waveguide embedded quantum dots can achieve both optical cyclicity and coherent spin control.
