Harnessing #soundwaves for #photonic #machinelearning: some years ago we embarked on first ideas of optoacoustics for new physical computation concepts. This particular work shows how all-optically created sound waves provide recurrent functionality to optical #neuralnetworks.
Scientists in the @MPI_Light Stiller Research Group, in collab w/ @MIT Englund Research Group, succeeded in laying the foundation for new reconfigurable neuromorphic building blocks by adding a new dimension to photonic #machinelearning: #soundwaves. 👉 bit.ly/MPL-photonic-computat…

If you want to know more about thermodynamics measured by light-sound interactions, read our newest publication in Nature Physics! Great collaboration of @MPI_Light and @UniFAU with @Leibniz_IPHT and @UTS, Markus Schmidt, @MarioChemnitz, @Chris et al.!
❗️New Publication in Nature Physics ❗️ Negative pressure is a rare and challenging-to-detect phenomenon in physics. Researchers from @StillerLab at @MPI_Light have now discovered a new method to measure it. Read more about it here: mpl.mpg.de/fileadmin/user_up… Image © Long Huy Dao

Looking forward to working with Silvia Viola-Kusminskiy @RG_VKusminskiy from RWTH Aachen and MPL, Olivier Klein from CEA and 6 other partners on the quadripartite of microwave-magnon-phonon-light processes!
Birgit Stiller and Silvia Viola Kusminskiy, group leaders at @MPI_Light, are working towards making long-distance #quantumcommunication and wireless communication more efficient as part of an EU Pathfinder research project. @StillerLab @RG_VKusminskiy mpl.mpg.de/news-events/news-…

The fourth and final day of the WOMBAT workshop ended faster than we could have dreamed. An inspiring talk by David Marpaung and an award ceremony brought the event to a worthy end. Many thanks to all participants who joined us at the MPL - we are looking forward to next time!

Outstanding, and quite moving, talk on the history of the scientists Brillouin and Mandelstam, given by our friend and colleague Luc Thevenaz at WOMBAT 2022.

Over 100 attendees are participating in the WOMBAT Workshop. On the third day, we were not only inspired by the talk of the invited speaker Giuliano Scarcelli (Twitter: @scarc1) but also celebrated 100 years of Brillouin Scattering together with Luc Thevenaz.

Our WOMBAT event continues. On the second day, we have already heard four fascinating talks by the invited speakers @fink_johannes, Xiaoyi Bao, Sarah Benchabane and Yiwen Chu @hybirds_eth. At 19:30 CET we will also hear a talk from Miles Padgett in our evening lecture at @UniFAU.
