Optica Quantum [ ] research from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) presents the integration of nanophotonic cavities containing tin-vacancy (SnV) centers in a photonic integrated circuit: https://ow.ly/XByq50Rr3O8

Based on system analyses and numerical simulations, the team concluded that the multiplexed architecture can enable high-fidelity quantum state transfer.

This study should motivate future efforts to use chip-integrated spin–cavity systems to perform multiplexed spin–photon entanglement and teleportation.

1,000 atomic qubits and rising, this Technische Universität Darmstadt team achieved a new record for atom-based quantum computers: https://ow.ly/OKjA50QShrv

With a new method called "quantum bit supercharging," the researchers could overcome the restrictions imposed on the number of usable qubits by the limited performance of lasers.

Research from Optica [ ] summarizes the crucial advancements in transverse mode control required for gravitational-wave detection: https://ow.ly/nLaq50QK7Gm

The University of Western Australia and the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery research team highlight key challenges and provide recommendations for advanced designs of future detectors.

They conclude that future gravitational-wave detectors will require exquisite control of the spatial properties of the wavefront to avoid a plethora of issues.

CERN

BU Optics & Photonics Club—Bangkok University
OPEN HOUSE: 09-11 NOVEMBER 2023

The project on the development of Indoor Object Positioning Systems utilizing Visible Light, presented by members of the BU Optics and Photonics club, takes stage at the 2023 Bangkok University Open House during 9-11 November 2023. Spearheaded by the our senior exchange student, Mr. Pierre Robichon and our professor, Assoc. Prof.Dr.Poompat Saengudomlert, from BUCROCCS(Bangkok University Center of Research in Optoelectronics, Communications, and Computational Systems), this innovative venture marks a significant step in location-based technologies.

Central to the project is Visible Light Communication (VLC), a transformative technology that utilizes LED lights to transmit data. VLC not only addresses the limitations of conventional methods but also promises improved accuracy and reliability in indoor positioning systems.

The adoption of Visible Light in Indoor Object Positioning Systems holds immense promise across various industries. From revolutionizing logistics in warehouses to refining the precision of augmented reality applications, the technology's potential to operate in interference-free zones unlocks new possibilities in indoor navigation and location-based services.

Ending on a positive quench-note ✅

On Monday 30 October, the last 2023 LHC beams were dumped.

For a change, the beams were not dumped by the LHC engineer-in-charge, but rather the machine protection system, which dumped the beams following a (purposeful) magnet quench.

With this new method, the LHC machine experts want to experimentally validate the quench limit of the superconducting magnets, that is, the amount of energy that a superconducting magnet can take before it quenches and loses its superconducting properties.
