I was making a GUI application for a scientific camera (beam fitting functionality, Shack-Hartmann detection, various shutter and trigger modes, etc.), but it's always mesmerizing to make it look at its own image :)

Rydberg atoms⚛️ for space applications🛰️?! New paper from the University of Warsaw 🇵🇱 in collaboration with @esa.int 🇪🇺, Durham Uni & UKRI STFC 🇬🇧, ONERA🇫🇷, and CSEM🇨🇭 is out at arxiv.org/pdf/2601.206... - a complete roadmap on how and why to bring this quantum tech into space.

Our paper is out in the #Optica journal. It is perhaps the most sensitive room-temperature THz detector to date, applied directly to a frequency-comb source. Delivered by a quantum-enabled Rydberg system. opg.optica.org/optica/viewm... @ncn.gov.pl

Last week I visited @unistuttgart.bsky.social PI5 division, presented our fresh results from QOT UW (qot.uw.edu.pl) and discussed collaboration both with Stuttgart and CFT PAN.

A new all-optical radio receiver using Rydberg atoms enables highly sensitive, non-invasive detection of microwave fields without metal components, offering precise calibration and miniaturization potential. doi.org/g965h6

Quantum radio antenna uses Rydberg states for sensitive, all-optical signal detection

A team from the Faculty of Physics and the Center for Quantum Optical Technologies at the University of Warsaw has developed a new type of all-optical radio receiver based on the fundamental properties of Rydberg atoms.

We have a short but nice postdoc opening in our microwave-optical transduction project www.qodl.eu/wp-content/u... Feel free to reach out to me if you are interested; details can be discussed and adjusted.

Our exceptional students at QOT defended four theses today at the Faculty of Physics UW under my guidance! The 3 MSc theses concerned: 1. Error-corrected Quantum Metrology by Bartek Niewelt - see arxiv.org/abs/2505.01506

Fresh results from our group at QOT UW & Faculty of Physics UW! Merging quantum metrology and computing, we show a microwave sensing protocol, where Rydberg atoms are simultaneously used to correct photon-loss errors. arxiv.org/abs/2505.01506

Are you tired of not being able to apply the RWA in your atomic system, because there is no time-independent frame because you have many different transitions leading to the same level? Here we have a solution, particularly useful for Rydberg receivers! arxiv.org/abs/2412.07632

Atomic-optical interferometry in fractured loops: a general solution for Rydberg radio frequency receivers

The development of novel radio frequency atomic receivers brings attention to the theoretical description of atom-light interactions in sophisticated, multilevel schemes. Of special interest, are the ...

@bsky.app getting serious traction in Poland 🇵🇱 geekweek.interia.pl/internet/new...

Bluesky rośnie w siłę. Wiele osób przenosi się tam z X

Bluesky to stosunkowo nowy serwis społecznościowy, który wystartował na początku 2024 roku. Od tamtego momentu, platforma zgromadziła około 21 mln

Predatory publisher MDPI is trying to influence the Polish government to prevent them from giving low scores for predatory journals, asking scientists to support them in this letter. I encourage Polish scientists to do exactly the opposite, and support the current project proposed by our government.

On another note, here is my USS Enterprise built in Factorio. #startrek #factorio #gaming

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉 We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:

Just got the @michal.parniak.pl custom handle linked to my domain. Next thing to consider is the own Personal Data Server. I'm probably having too much fun with this than I should.

It seems exciting to see @bsky.app get into the mainstream, saying as someone who loves to deal with various quantum protocols rather than just a single platform.

www.we-heraeus-stiftung.de/veranstaltun... I will be giving a talk at the Heraeus Seminar on Multiparameter Quantum Sensing and Metrology in Bad Honnef, Germany on Feb 3-6. Please join us—food and lodging is sponsored by the foundation for all participants. Application deadline is Nov 28.

I'm excited to join as a speaker for upcoming Workshop on Multiparameter #Quantum Sensing and Metrology (3-6 Feb 2025) at the Bad Honnef Physics Centre in Germany, where I will show practical implementations of advanced quantum sensing protocols. Join us! www.we-heraeus-stiftung.de/veranstaltun...
