In an in-person meeting with ICEoxford in Witney, we approved the design of a new cryogen-free cryostat for the helium laboratory. This system is designed to reach temperatures as low as 300 mK and will allow us to study the dynamics of thin helium films.
The installation of a new TiS laser system at the Gravity Laboratory will enable ingenious research in analogue gravity. It is expected to be operational within the next few weeks, and researchers are eagerly anticipating the new opportunities that it will bring. The new laser promises to be a major asset to the laboratory, paving the way for new discoveries and breakthroughs in the years to come.
The 2022 National Quantum Technologies Programme (NQTP) Showcase features some of the UK’s most exciting projects from across the Quantum landscape.
Join us at an in-person event in London to hear about our exciting funding plans for the next two years
At the beginning of February 2023, our group attended the Quantum Technologies for Fundamental Physics Engagement Event.
Professor Carlo Barenghi (Newcastle University) is visiting our group on 26-27 January 2023. He will give a seminar talk titled Modelling superflows: the drain vortex on 27 January at 11 am in room C30 (Physics building). Everyone is welcome to attend!

Organizers Jorma Louko, Silke Weinfurtner, and Cisco Gooding are pleased to announce a one-day "Measuring Temperatures and Harvesting with Unruh Detectors in the Lab" workshop in Nottingham during Bill Unruh's visit. Our approach is to bring theorists and experimentalists together to discuss a joint way forward towards Unruh detection from an analogue gravity system, with the focus on both ultra-cold atoms and superfluid helium systems.
QSimFP announced that the 1st QSimFP Annual Workshop will be held from 19th-21st September 2022 in London, at the Institute of Physics and at the Science Gallery London at King’s College London.
Join us at this in-person event open to all PGRs, academic and research staff from the Schools of Mathematical Sciences, Physics & Astronomy and the Faculty of Engineering.
QSimFP presented a novel interferometric detection method applied to fluid interfaces as the NQTP Showcase in London, 2021.
