Heartfelt congratulations to our newest Drs from the Quantum Light and Matter section at Durham, pictured here in front of the cathedral. We wish you all the best with your next steps, and we'll be seeing some of you around the department as new PDRAs!

In this week’s Fourier Optics course we shall be looking at diffraction.
The central idea is:
decompose an arbitrary light distribution in one plane into a sum of plane waves with Fourier transform to solve the Helmholtz equation for light propagation.

On my way to @durhamphysics.bsky.social and @icc-durham.bsky.social in Durham to give this week’s Astro colloquium.
Just adding the finishing touches to my slides.

Experts in our Department of Physics, led by Dr Simone Scaringi have discovered a mysterious bow shock wave around a dead star. With the source of this energy leak a mystery, the discovery could challenge understandings of star evolution. Read more 👉 www.durham.ac.uk/news-events/...
