Integrated Photonics for neutral atom, ion and nanoparticle trapping

At @optica.org Integrated Photonics & Optical Cooling and Trapping Technical Group, we organize a webinar series on leveraging integrated nanophotonic circuits for trapping and manipulating neutral atoms, ions, and nanoparticles.

10 scholarships of 3000€ (50% awarded to female candidates) are available to support students willing to conduct a 6-month master's thesis internship at LENS between April and December 2025

🚩Applications by March 12, 2025, at 5:00 PM CET👉 quantumgases.lens.unifi.it/22-homepage-...

On 11/02, for the UN international day for women and girls in Science and the #YQST, we hosted the Global Women Breakfast promoted by @iupac.bsky.social!
Invited speakers:
Italian National CUG network
Costanza Toninelli (women for quantum ⚛️)
Lorenzo Gasparrini (philosopher)

Here some 📸

Global Woman Breakfast 2025 now live in Florence (Sesto) moderated by @naturale.bsky.social

Today on: "Accelerating Equity in Science"

Open to everyone

Kudos @nantolini.bsky.social !

The second congress of the National #Quantum Science and Technology Institute (NQSTI) starting now in Rome, opening the italian #IYQ2025!

Many researchers at LENS are making impactful contributions to the NQSTI project, working across atomic, photonic, and ion platforms, as well as in quantum optics and quantum information.

Here's a picture from the NQSTI congress in Rome!

We are very happy to host our second PATLab visitor Emanuele Distante from @icfonians.bsky.social

Looking forward for a great scientific exchange!

If you are in Florence, don’t miss his seminar, see below 👇

Next week we'll have the pleasure to host Emanuele Distante from @icfonians.bsky.social for the first seminar of the FILM: FIrenze Light-Matter series!

Emanuele will present the talk "Quantum network with neutral atom arrays coupled to an optical cavity".

#QuantumSky #Atoms

We would be very honoured, to be included. Thanks

Our lab is on @bsky.app !!! Follow us :)

Alessio Recati explaining high school students basics of quantum mechanics: how an atom looks like?

It's time to change the visualization of atoms starting from school textbooks!

#INOSymposium24

CNR-INO symposium is starting!! 👏👏

What a beautiful place 😮

Come and see our poster Friday before lunch in poster session 2

Fun fact, this very room have been designed by the famous architect Brunelleschi 🏛

The CNR-INO symposium 2024 starting at the beautiful Museo degli Innocenti 🚀

Later today we'll host the seminar by Alberto Biella from Pitaevskii BEC Center, CNR-INO and Università di Trento
"Experiments on waveguide QED with nanofibers"

Thanks to LENS, Unifi Fisica and Luca Celardo for organizing this seminar.

Hello (quantum) world!
We are a network of research groups exploring #ultracold #atoms, #ions, #molecules & #mixtures, delving into fundamental physics, condensed matter & quantum simulation.

Follow us for updates on fundamental physics and cutting-edge research! 🚀⚛️
#QuantumPhysics #QuantumBlueSky

As a brand new lab, we are particular proud to share pictures from our first visitor Prof. Luis Orozco from @univofmaryland.bsky.social

Thank you, Luis for the great discussions!
