Postdoc Koen Bastiaans was awarded a Veni grant from NWO. He will use the grant to study emergent quantum states atom-by-atom.
28 May 2021
Today in Science, Lukas Veldman and coworkers demonstrate a new method to trace the coherent dynamics of two coupled atomic spins. The technique, which could be described as a means to overhear a conversation between the atoms, was covered in many news outlets including Gizmodo.
