A team of researchers in Florence observed the formation of #quantum droplet arrays in ultra-cold atom mixtures. The phenomenon is caused by surface tension, leading to the breakup of atomic filaments into droplets. Read the study, published in Physical Review Letters: bit.ly/4c1nUF1 #CNR

Milton Abramowitz, Stegun’s co-editor on the project, died of a heart attack in 1958. That was after the book was underway but well before it was finished. Stegun took over and saw the project through to its publication in 1964. "Stegun and Abramowitz" is probably a more appropriate name. (3/n)

Honored to receive the NQSTI Prize for "2024 Best Publication" in #Quantum Science and Technology, alongside my former colleague G. Biagioni 🙌 In the paper we studied the Josephson effect in a #supersolid measuring its superfluid fraction! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Is mathematical illiteracy even perceived as a problem, like functional illiteracy? Filled by data and statistics from politics, and news, the widespread rejection of math by the average person is alarming. Maybe we need to change teaching?

My cartoon in this week’s issue of The New Yorker. Huge thanks to all my middle school and high school math teachers for inspiring this cartoon by wasting years of my life.

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

Next summer, join us in Warsaw for the Workshop on Ultracold Molecules, co-organized with Simon Cornish and Candela Foundation! 🌍 Save the date to explore groundbreaking advances in molecular formation and applications in quantum physics, cold chemistry, and precision measurements. ✨

Researchers have proposed to model cuprate and nickelate superconductors using single-layer and bilayer optical lattices, respectively. These simulations could aid the design of new materials with high superconducting temperatures.

Simulating Superconductivity in Optical Lattices

Researchers have devised a way to use atoms in optical lattices to model high-temperature superconductors, whose behavior is not yet fully understood.
