Lou Pickering has joined the team for the summer, with an EPSRC Summer Research Internship. Lou is working on designing optical potentials to controllably nucleate vortex rings in a dilute-gas superfluid. Welcome Lou!

June 2025 The group had a great visit to Portland in the US for DAMOP2025. DAMOP continues to be one of Kali’s favourite physics conferences, and Omar rocked his first conference talk. Kali then traveled to Seattle for a targeted workshop on compressible turbulence hosted by the Institute for Nuclear Theory at the University of Washington.

June 2025: Interested in joining the Quantum Fluids research team? We are hiring a PDRA to work on the K-Rb quantum-mixture experiment currently under development. The Royal Society funded research project will explore the role that vortices, topologically-protected defects, play in both supporting and destroying emergent quantum phenomena, such as superfluidity and superconductivity. See https://bit.ly/PDRAQuantumMixtures or contact Dr Kali Wilson for more details.

Our vacuum chamber build is underway. The chamber will have a dual-species oven loading a 2D MOT, 3D MOT chamber, and dedicated octagonal science cell.

August 2024: Interested in joining the Quantum Fluids research team? We are hiring a PDRA to work on the K-Rb quantum-mixture experiment currently under development. The experiment will ultimately be used to explore vortex dynamics in binary superfluids. See https://bit.ly/QuantumMixturesPDRA or contact Dr Kali Wilson for more details.

Beth Farr is joining the team for the summer. Beth is helping design magnetic field coils for the Quantum Mixture apparatus. Welcome Beth!

Omar Moutamani joined the team as a PhD student. Welcome Omar!
