Why Build a Quantum Transducer?
A deep dive into the motivation for behind my postdoc research. What do microwaves and lasers have to do with communication? And what changes when I insist on repeating the word “quantum” twice in every sentence?
Frequency Shifts Do Not Imply Quantum Entanglement
Demystifying the tardigrade-induced frequency shift with a mass, a spring, and a trip to Singapore in the year 8022.
Putting the Mechanics in Quantum Mechanics
How the tools of quantum optomechanics could one day be used to put a macroscopic object into a quantum superposition.
How Does an Axion Detector Work?
Looking under the hood of an axion dark matter detector: how it works, how the laws of quantum mechanics limit its sensitivity, and why you shouldn’t hold your breath until dark matter is discovered.
