Mit der Bahn von München nach Prag: Bayern und Tschechien schreiben die Problemstrecke neu aus „Das Grauen aller Pendler“ wurde das Bahnfahren zwischen München, Regensburg und Prag schon genannt: zu unpünktlich und zu unzuverlässig

German newspaper confirms my observation: Munich - Regensburg is a commuters horror 🚂 www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/bayer...

Hidden order in quantum chaos: the pseudogap In a quantum simulator LMU and MPQ physicists reveal how subtle magnetic patterns shape one of the most puzzling states of matter - an important step towards understanding superconductivity.

🔬 A mysterious state of matter - the pseudogap - may hold the key to deciphering #superconductivity. Using a quantum simulator, a team led by #LMU physicist Immanuel Bloch, member of @mcqst.bsky.social shows how subtle magnetic patterns shape this enigmatic phase. www.lmu.de/en/newsroom/...

Order in quantum chaos A new member of the LMU family, quantum physicist Annabelle Bohrdt wants to know what holds materials together in their innermost core.

⚛️ LMU physicist and newly appointed professor Annabelle Bohrdt brings order to quantum chaos. “We want to understand what many quantum particles do when they interact with each other” - a simple question behind one of the most complex problems in modern physics. #LMUMunich #Physics

Optimal illness policy for an unethical daycare center While businesses are typically more profitable if their workers and communities are minimally exposed to diseases, the same is not true for daycare centers. Here it is shown that a daycare center coul...

Well, this is great; I look forward to the coming wave of private equity firms buying up preschools. arxiv.org/abs/2601.20123

Although 2025 was absolutely shocking in terms of the cruelty of powerful people, science can still be a refuge from it. A highlight for me was retreating to the mountains to teach at the Les Houches Summer School. Here are my lecture notes: arxiv.org/abs/2512.24390

Glad to share the news of our newly funded Special Research Area (SFB) of the @fwf-at.bsky.social.

QNNECT will be a collaborative project on neutral-atom hashtag#quantum systems with high connectivity — spanning Rydberg atoms, atoms in cavities, magnetic atoms, and polar molecules.

Great fellowship in an amazing place (in my unbiased view). If you want to do a PhD in quantum science, apply!

One of the best places in the world to do a PhD in quantum - I did mine with this fellowship and it was awesome! Apart from great environment in Munich, lots of opportunities to mingle with other quantum centers in the world in summer schools, workshops etc.

Assistant Professor-Atomic Physics Theory - Department of Physics University of California, Berkeley is hiring. Apply now!

UC Berkeley Physics is looking for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Theoretical Atomic Physics — an amazing opportunity to join our dynamic AMO/Quantum community. If interested 👉 aprecruit.berkeley.edu/JPF05147

I've complained a couple times about the lack of physics community here but not done much about it! New commitment: I'll post one interesting arXiv paper a day until things are better.

(To the folks who follow me for non-physics science policy, don't worry; plenty more of that reporting to come.)

New paper by long term visitor Tatiana Vovk: the t-NQS (developed by PhD student Anka van de Walle) opens up 🙌 to open system dynamics — check it out here arxiv.org/abs/2508.08964

Innsbruck is hosting YAO!!!! Are you not yet registered? Hurry up :-) list of speakers AMAZInG! Honestly, YAO is one of the best event the Atomic Physics community has ever created for PhD Students! @yao2025.bsky.social

Without the commute, with my research group finally in one place, and no more job applications, I’ll have so much time 🚀 I’ll probably spend it eating ice cream 🍦 and enjoying life 😎 if you come to Munich, let me know!

This is also the end of my search for a solution of the two body problem 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒 (maybe I’ll add this to my areas of expertise?), which involved a lot of work and frustration 😓 over the last couple of years, but also support from many people in different ways, for which I’m incredibly grateful ❤️ 3/n

This is the end of two years of commuting to Regensburg 🚂 on what I am sure (see statistics below) is the most unreliable connection between two cities in Germany 😭 2/n

Beautiful day for a beautiful announcement 📣 starting March 1st, I have started a new job as professor of physics at LMU Munich @lmumuenchen.bsky.social 🤓 👩‍🏫 you can find me from now on here (the ugly building on the left obviously) 1/n

Nice and interesting trip to beautiful Zürich — always worth a trip 🚊 train judgement: very good connection from Munich 🚂

Group keeps complaining about lack of GPUs, long waiting time on CPU cluster — today I walk in on this 🤔 🤖

Please share: Our Max Planck Institute recently left X and is present here on Mastodon. Give them a follow! Beautiful pictures from the science of light!

Todays trip back from Regensburg took 3 hours 40 minutes by train, train, taxi, bus, subway 🚂 🚂 🚕 🚌 🚇 took a picture on the first trains toilet that perfectly captures the connection — there is something, but it’s kinda 💩

🎉 Registrations for YAO 2025 are OPEN!

📅 Join us July 6–11, 2025 in Innsbruck, Austria for talks, poster sessions, industry talks & networking!
