We are delighted to introduce Lindsay LeBlanc (@epsilonsquared) as the Chair for Quantum Days 2024. Lindsay is an Associate Professor at the @UAlberta and Canada Research Chair in Ultracold Quantum Gases. stay tuned for more updates and announcements! https://t.co/fmRvioTsIG

Also need to give credit to my bonus-kid for teaching me so much about Greek mythology over the past few years, inspiring the title "ARAQNE" -- though we expect spinning quantum webs will be more of a blessing than a curse.

Proud and excited to be leading this new @NSERC_CRSNG funded project with so many fabulous collaborators from across Canada.

(even though I head home tonight, after a weekend just hanging out with @5thsound, who's actually here for physics)

Having fun in Vegas playing "Spot the physicist" ahead of #apsmarch meeting @APSMeetings

Thanks for coming to visit, and for all of the @UofAResearch support from that makes this work possible!

Interestingly, the back of the clipping is an article about Yeltsin and "defusing the nuclear threat."

(Visiting some extended family, in the city of my birth, for #ccuwip2023, and my aunt hands me a newspaper clipping she has saved for 30 years.)

STEM outreach circa 1992: an article quoting me: Lindsay LeBlanc, 11, said her teachers have opened a whole new world for her.... "I can work on computers at lunchtime and I've talked to and heard some famous and interesting people."

Second day of the year, and second day skiing. Not a bad start! @epsilonsquared

Another angle.... #classicalphysics

Almost finished tuning up my new demo from @ArborSci... A beautiful demo connecting so much #physics to the simple harmonic oscillator, as evidenced by colleagues dropping by to say, "That's just like a [mode-locked laser] [quantum memory] [superradiance] [Alfvén wave]..."

Physicist Lise Meitner was born #OTD in 1878. She discovered fission in uranium with Otto Frisch, and was the first person to understand both its mechanics and implications. Image: Atomic Heritage Foundation (photographer unknown)

You will not be surprised to learn that Pierre Auger discovered it independently in 1923, a year after Meitner. Other people receiving credit for Meitner's work will be a theme, so please feel free to refer to it as the “Meitner effect” or the “Meitner-Auger effect.”

This just in: Zero Point Cryogenics wins an @ASTechFDN ‘Distinction’ award! We are humbled and honoured to receive the Early Adopter of Alberta Technology Award thanks to our fantastic customers, funders, and employees. Alberta truly is a great place to build a business.

Thanks @gwendoesscience for the invitation!

Super excited to give colloquium at @UofRegina this afternoon -- Regina, SK is where I was born and lived for my first ten years. Though this visit is remote (and you're all invited), I'm looking forward to heading to Regina for #CCUWiP2023 in January!

We think we just saw a meteor fall west of Hwy 2, driving into Edmonton from the airport! #yegwx #yeg

Lots of colleagues around the world were interested in the first yr course we created on quantum computing/information using only HS-level math. We finally wrote a paper to provide more details and hopefully help other instructors:
