We're happy to celebrate a successful defence this week! 🥳
Adrian Copetudo Espinosa defended his thesis on "Entanglement and Tomography of Multi-Mode Superconducting Bosonic Systems". He was supervised by Principal Investigator Yvonne Gao. Early next year, he will join the group of Robert J. Schoelkopf at Yale University as a postdoc. Congratulations Dr Adrian! 🎓️

We were pleased to host artist Carmen de Matos at CQT the past month 🎨 She concluded her residency by unveiling two murals she worked on during her time at CQT. She also worked on two other canvas pieces.

🇪🇸 From Badajoz in Spain, Carmen is a visual artist who explores the concepts of memory, identity and heritage through her work. She was invited to visit CQT after she attended a talk by the Centre’s Director on quantum technologies.

⚛️ During her residency, Carmen visited quantum optics and quantum processor labs and met researchers to learn about their work. “I never studied quantum or physics before, so a lot of concepts were new to me,” Carmen says. “I learnt a lot that I will want to develop in the future.”

Congratulations to Harvey Cao Fengrui! 👏 He successfully defended his thesis on "Topological Methods for Probing and Engineering Quantum Dynamics". His research is broadly at the intersection of quantum, applied topology and machine learning, looking at capturing the "shape" of quantum dynamics. Harvey was supervised by Principal Investigator Dimitris Angelakis.

😎 Happy to be back at Science Centre Singapore on 26 September to show our science! CQT's Alexander Hue, Michael Li, Raghav Sah, Elias Muench and Timothy Lim brought along our laser demo to show the wave properties of laser light and how it can be used to measure the width of a hair or the width of slits in a diffraction grating.

🔜 Our next session will be in November!

⚡️ PhD students Elias and Raghav also participated in the Faraday cage challenge in the Energy Titans Show 😁

The CQT lutetium clock team has built the world's most accurate atomic clock. 🕙️ Congratulations to CQT's Murray Barrett, Kyle Arnold, Michael Lee, Nakarin Jayjong and graduates Zhao Qi, Qin Qichen and Zhang Zhao on their work published in Nature! 👏

They base their claim on measurements showing that their clock, built from the element lutetium, outperforms previous record holders built from different elements.
