Taking light’s fingerprints

A team comprising researchers from University of St Andrews (including our former colleague Graham Bruce) and M-Squared Lasers have published an article in Nature Communications today on measuring the wavelength of…

Most Read in J Phys B

The gray molasses paper (http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1361-6455/aa65ea) by Graham, Matt and Brendon and their collaborators at Strathclyde and Fudan is currently “Most Read” in J Phys B!  Well done!

Studying vacuum conditions with trapped cold atoms

There is currently a lot of interest in making cold atom setups more portable so that they can be taken out of the lab and used as components in quantum technology 2.0.  We showed in a couple of papers that one can now…

Sub-Doppler cooling made more simple

Our former MPhys student, Matthew Johnson, supervised by Graham Bruce and Brendon Lovett, had his thesis work included in a recent publication in J Phys B [1]. In collaboration with the Kuhr group at University of…
