Quantum Fluids of Light

This platform used to be inspiring and fun, but now it's buried in ads and toxicity under @elonmusk’s ownership. I’m out. Stay updated with our group on LinkedIn—search Hamid Ohadi.

CMQM conf in St And brought diverse experts together, from hard CM to polaritons. Hopefully this will result in collaborations between traditionally non-overlapping fields. Thanks to Peter Wahl for heavy lifting.⁦@wahl_group⁩ ⁦@univofstandrews⁩ ⁦@PhysAstroStAnd⁩

Our work on Rydberg excitons in micropillars out now: nature.com/articles/s4324…

New research from the University of St Andrews @PhysAstroStAnd @StAndrewsChem could lead to more efficient televisions, computer screens and lighting, according to new research published today in @Nature Read more 👇 ow.ly/rbS350R3t6M #EverToExcel

@fplaussy This was one of the best stories I read about a new publication. Really enjoyed your clear and hilarious introduction!

So we're not even started. It'll take us a few more chapters like this to get to the bottom. We can do it the hard way, which is the paper (part 2), the fun way (part 3) or the fast way (part 4). Or you can ignore it. But it's there and it's coming for you x.com/fplaussy/statu…

𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗣𝗵𝗼𝘁𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 Part 1: Kindergarten. Niels Bohr founded 𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑢𝑚 Mechanics by 𝑄𝑢𝑎𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑧𝑖𝑛𝑔 angular momentum of the electron going round the nucleus. He became to Rydberg's empirical spectral lines what Newton was to Kepler's orbits.

@jotschmitt @stifterverband @UniBonn @Cambridge_Uni @ML4Q_cluster Fantastic!

@srk_rodriguez I had a similar case that was in review for 15 months, interestingly this one was also just linear physics: journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

What an odyssey/triumph to get thid one in! 1year + 7 months in review in PRL. No paper I co-authored generated so much controversy with referees as this one. Ironically, it's just the physics of one linear cavity, which many told me is 'trivial'. journals.aps.org/prl/accepted/d…

Our new work on "Nonlinear Rydberg exciton-polaritons in Cu2O microcavities" has just appeared in Light Science and Applications. Great UK/Germany collaboration crucially supported by a Centre-to-Centre EPSRC grant between Sheffield and TU Dortmund. nature.com/articles/s4137…

Rydberg polaritons in Cu2O become nonlinear! nature.com/articles/s4137… excellent collaboration with @ldsd_research

Finally out - how good are different surfaces at deactivating SARS-CoV-2 viruses? Copper beats them almost all - except cuprous oxide (Cu₂O). Question is - why? Read more at doi.org/10.1128/aem.01…. Great collaboration across CDQM (cdqm.uk) and School of Biology.

Date for your diary: Condensed Matter and Quantum Materials (CMQM24) conference in St Andrews (2-5 July). With special attention to polaritons and 2d materials. iop.eventsair.com/cmqm2024

@AntnSo We’ve had it for 4 years, no problem.

New arrival 🤩 (praying that it won’t break too soon…)

Our @cdtap students are talented in poetry as well as physics!

@AntnSo Looks great, what did you make it with?

I should have done this long ago, but well, here a very preliminar version of my website! :) sites.google.com/view/qossgroup/

Very happy to publish this idea that popped up during the 2020 confinement 🥲. Thank you very much to my collaborators, Alain, Roman, Ana (@QTechStockholm) and Christian (@SchneiderQMat). Fun fact: I can not access to the pdf of my own paper. opg.optica.org/ol/abstract.cf…

@AntnSo @QTechStockholm @SchneiderQMat Would you like me to send you a copy?
