CQT hosts QCamp for curious young mindsIn June, CQT hosted 36 students for QCamp, our summer school on quantum physics and quantum technologies. One student called it “the highlight of my June holidays”, and another said “it was astronomical for a topic that speaks about qubits”. QCamp was organised by CQT PhD students Clive Aw, Clara Fontaine, Angelina Frank, Zaw Lin Htoo, Mark Myers, Peter Sidaja and Arthur Strauss, with support from CQT's researchers, students and staff. |
New species of atom unlocked for ultracold atomic researchThe group of Principal Investigator Travis Nicholson has adventured into a new group of the Periodic Table, realising the first magneto-optical trap for indium. “This is just the beginning – just demonstrating that indium can be trapped and cooled shows that it is a viable species for ultracold research,” says Travis, on the manuscript published as a Letter and Editors’ Suggestion paper in Physical Review A on 7 June. The paper was also featured as a research highlight in Nature. |
CQT researchers will contribute to the platforms’ efforts to put Singapore at the cutting edge in quantum technologies.
CQT features in the documentary series “Innovating for the future” developed by the National University of Singapore in partnership with Channel NewsAsia.
Meet a CQTian: Subash SachidanandaResearch Associate Subash Sachidananda is an electronics engineer by profession. In Principal Investigator Alexander Ling’s group, he helps to design experimental setups and electronic modules for the group to do experiments in quantum optics. “It is a great experience to interact with creative and smart people from all around the world and see how they think and do their research,” he says. In his free time, Subash does simple drawings and cartoons as a fun creative outlet. |
