A cleaner was injured on shards of metal stuck to a magnet whilst removing the rubbish bag from the bins outside A02. This was very avoidable incident and shouldn\u2019t have happened.
\nDispose of all waste appropriately. If in doubt contact your line manager or supervisor.<\/p>\n
Shonah Ion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n As usual for the Christmas period, when heating and many services are off and the occupancy of the building is at or near zero most research labs will be closed. The only permitted activities are essential safety activities or those necessary to maintain long term experiments.

However, the complexity of their interactions generally prevents us from coming up with an exact mathematical description of their behavior. Precisely engineered ultracold gases are emerging as a powerful tool for unraveling these challenging physical problems.<\/p>\n In this talk, I will present recent developments at JILA on using alkaline-earth atoms (AEAs) – currently the basis of the most precise atomic clock in the world – for the investigation of complex many-body phenomena and magnetism. Specifically, I will discuss ideas on how to use AEAs dressed by laser fields as a tool to engineer useful entangled states. The proposed schemes open a window to enhance clock sensitivity beyond what is possible with uncorrelated atoms, and, set a foundation for future quantum computers.<\/p>\n For a biography and calendar file, please visit the Physics Events page.<\/p>\n Grainne Wilkinson<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Online via MS Teams Speaker: Tom Dealtry (Lancaster University)<\/p>\n Jarek Nowak<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Online via MS Teams Speaker: Dr. Yue Chen (Lancaster University)<\/p>\n Robert Young<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Online via MS Teams Further details to follow.<\/p>\n Speaker: Ashlea Kemp<\/p>\n Jarek Nowak<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you should need a new bottle of virucidal cleaner\u00a0from stores, please retain the trigger attachment, from the old one.

Shonah Ion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We have had reports from the cleaners of plates with food on being left in multiple occupancy offices. Shonah Ion<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/u> Remember the virtual gathering to mark the end of the year, to be held on the 16th December 15:00 \u2013 17:00. See email with subject \u201cPhysics staff Christmas get-together\u201d from G. Wilkinson for the meeting joining link.<\/p>\nLab shut down over the University winter\/Christmas closure period<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nGiven the exceptionally tough year we have faced, it is particularly important to give people a proper break and allow them to \u2018recharge\u2019 over the extended University closure period, 5pm 20th December to 9am 4th January.<\/p>\n
\nIf you envisage the need to attend site please submit a risk assessment and safe Scheme of work as soon and in any case before the 14th December.<\/p>\nPhysics Colloquium<\/strong><\/h2>\n
