A new PhD graduate from the Cold Molecules group! Huge congratulations to Felix Kogel for successfully defending his PhD with the highest distinction! Felix's doctoral hat includes an interactive replica of the #lasercooling experiment for new types of #precisionmeasurements described in his thesis!

Ever seen a photo of a single atom? That tiny speck is a laser-cooled Sr+ ion floating between electrodes—captured on camera! Wild, right? What part of this blows your mind most? #atomicclocks #iontrap #lasercooling #quantumcomputing #singlestrontiumatom
Is the Single Strontium Atom Photo Real?
The single strontium atom photo is real. It shows a single, laser-cooled Sr+ ion held between electrodes in an ion trap and made to glow by laser-induced fluorescence, which a standard camera can record in a long exposure. You are seeing light scattered by that atom, not a resolved image of its physical size or structure. What is the single strontium atom photo?
