ETH Physics

Last week, Professors Nicolò Defenu and Juan Carrasquilla Álvarez @carrasqu gave their inaugural lectures @ETH_en. If you missed their talks, you can watch the recordings here: video.ethz.ch/speakers/lectu… (Defenu) video.ethz.ch/speakers/lectu… (Carrasquilla Álvarez)

@Matemagija @ETH_en @carrasqu Welcome!!

A personal update - I recently started a new position at @ETH_en with @carrasqu. It is nice to be back in Europe!

🚀 Do you wonder what it takes to rise through the ranks and become a professor? Join us for an insightful, informal discussion with our speakers, who will share their personal academic journeys and answer all your questions in a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.🌟 Link in bio!

The WiNS Mentoring Program is back! 🥳 Whether you're looking for guidance or want to inspire others, join us as a Mentor or Mentee! 🌟 Open to all genders and study levels at ETH, mentors have to be at least 3rd year Bachellor's. Sign up by Oct 25! 🔗Link in bio!

Tobias Donner appointed Adjunct Professor Congratulations to Tobias Donner, currently Lecturer and Senior Scientist in the @ETHQuantumCntr group of @TilmanEsslinger, on his appointment as Adjunct Professor at @ETH_physics. Read more linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

Here's a new prize that may be of interest to those who work in theoretical and mathematical physics!

👏Congratulations to the METIS Systems team! 🔭 METIS is the first instrument for the Extremely Large Telescope to pass the Final Design Review! Further informations: linkedin.com/posts/d-phys_c…

"We want to understand particle physics but from the statistical physics perspective" @ETHQuantumCntr member @MKMontheLattice (@ETH_physics) on her work to better understand the strong force that binds quarks and gluons into hadrons as described by QCD. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

In a paper published this week in @NaturePhysics , the @ETHQuantumCntr group of @TilmanEsslinger (@ETH_physics) reports direct measurements of entropy current in quantum gases moving through two connected superfluid reservoirs — with surprising findings. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

👉 Who will be the first winner of the Quantum Entanglement Prize? This new prize is awarded to PhD students & postdocs who carry out outstanding research in #quantum #physics. Candidates from all departments @ETH_en can be nominated - deadline is 31 May! phys.ethz.ch/news-and-event…

A few days before #WorldQuantumDay Alain Aspect visited @ETH_physics and gave a talk about #quantum #entanglement and #nonlocality at the Zurich Physics Colloquium. Would you have liked to attend his seminar but couldn't? Here's the video recording: video.ethz.ch/speakers/zuric…

A recipe for scalable quantum dots Writing in @ScienceAdvances, a team including our member Puneet Murthy (@ETH_physics) report a novel method for creating electrically defined quantum dots, with the potential for long-​sought tunability and scalability. linkedin.com/feed/update/ur…

What would the @LIFE_Telescope #space mission see if it observed (exo)planet Earth? A team from @ETH and @UZH_ch found invaluable answers to this complex question. Read the news article: phys.ethz.ch/news-and-event… Take a look at the research paper: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384…

"In quantum mechanics it doesn't matter how knowledgeable you are – every time you look into a topic you find yourself thinking about it differently." With this article, we acknowledge the many paths one can take to #teach #QuantumPhysics today: phys.ethz.ch/news-and-event…
