Jun Ye pays homage to his former postdoc advisor, Jeff Kimble Caltech, at the Conference on Coherence and Quantum Science University of Rochester. We've lost some good quantum opticians recently...

Quantum pistons pumping, entangled gears grinding: great session at Rochester with Nicole Yunger Halpern, Pedram Roushan, and Jiheng Duan! #QuantumOptics #quantum #physics

The International Year of Quantum is only half gone. Party on! quantumfrontiers.com/2025/06/22/a-q…

Group dinner/leaving party The Board and Brew. We’ve loved having Aleks Lasek and Jade LeSchack in the Quantum-Steampunk Laboratory, but we can’t begrudge them the new adventures they have lined up!

Giorgio Parisi opening StatPhys29: AI resembles the heat engine in that the technology arrived before the theory.

StatPhys29 opened amid the splendor of the Palazzo Vecchio, the Florentine seat of government, where the Medici crest flanks the speaker. I have great expectations for the rest of the conference.

Michele Campisi michele campisi at StatPhys29: To prepare many qubits with high fidelity, use collective behaviors, such as spontaneous symmetry breaking.

Whimsically, the plots on my collaborator's slide resemble the marble strewn across Florence, where he was presenting. @StatPhys29

Mehran Kardar: “Let’s be very statistical-physics-y and introduce an order parameter m.” Indeed, one can't get much more statistical-physics-y than that.

Great to see the winners of the IUPAP Boltzmann Medal and Early Career Scientists Award recognized at #StatPhys29. Congratulations Mehran Kardar, Yoshiki Kuramoto, Daniel M Busiello, Lorenzo Caprini, and NicoleYunger Halpern. 👏

Claude Shannon “must have been an alien from another planet or a time traveler, because no human being could have achieved all that he did.” –At-least-approximate quote from David Wolpert @StatPhys29

FQxI's Nicole Yunger Halpern (NicoleYunger Halpern), a quantum physicist at National Institute of Standards and Technology and Institute for Physical Science and Technology UMD Physics has been honored with an Early Career Scientist Award, presented every three years by the C3 Commission on Statistical Physics of the International Union for Pure and Applied

Loads of research groups across the world have been studying the Mpemba effect, according to which ice cream freezes more quickly if the mixture begins hot than if it begins cold. But how many groups have a student who *makes* ice cream? 🍦😋🍧 QuICS UMD Physics

"...leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay." ...but at least Quantum Steampunk has made it to a second printing. 🌞 Hopkins Press
