The second best thing about teaching at UC Berkeley (the first is students, obviously) as an experimentalist is a huge treasure chest of vintage demos available to instructors. These are two of my favorites so far for our Quantum course! ⚛️🚀😎😎

Our lab at Berkeley is growing: new fully funded postdoc positions in the Bay Area. We build hybrid quantum machines—neutral atom arrays interfaced with nanophotonics. Young lab, a ton of new ideas. Atoms and/or quantum optics? Reach out. suleymanzadelab.com

New postdoc openings in our group at UC Berkeley! If you wanted to develop hybrid platforms with neutral atom qubits - reach out (CV attached). Deep experimental experience in AMO, superconducting circuits, or quantum optics (with matter qubits) will be highly relevant!⚛️

Do I know anyone here teaching Quantum Physics/Information Science to a non-physics degree audience? Would love to chat. :)

Really enjoyed QuNeW 2025 in The Hague this week! Big thanks to the organizers for the invitation and an amazing event. If you’re working on quantum networking or distributed QC, don’t miss it: qunew.org/home. And finally got to catch up with friends at TU Delft. 🥳

Our work at Harvard, in collaboration with the University of Tokyo, on "Experimentally Probing Entropy Reduction via Iterative Quantum Information Transfer," got published in PRX! A super fun deviation from our usual topic into thermodynamics! 🌡️ Congratulations to both teams 🥳

Our platform allows us to validate generalized forms of the second law and fluctuation theorem that incorporate quantum information flow. By comparing Markovian and non-Markovian feedback protocols, we demonstrate how memory enhances accessible information and entropy reduction,
