Academic excellence scholarship awarded to Sandra
Sandra Brandstetter, master student in the RARE Lab, has received an academic excellence scholarship of the University of Innsbruck. The scholarship is awarded every year for outstanding academic achievements in the previous academic year.
Elise-Richter fellowship awarded to Lauriane!
The Elise-Richter fellowship programme from the FWF is a prestigious and selective programme dedicated to senior female post-docs, helping them to achieve independence and guiding them toward the next step of their academic career and in particular their habilitation.
New Excellence Fellowship Program for Visiting Master Students: Applications are now open!
We are pleased to announce the launching a novel excellence fellowship program to provide support to external master students willing to join our group for their research project. The call for application for the year 2020 is now open. Application should be submitted until April 15th 2020 for an internship starting, at the latest, end of November 2020.
Deep Learning-Assisted Classification of Site-Resolved Quantum Gas Microscope Images
Now in Measurement Science and Technology!
In collaboration with our theory colleague at IQOQI (Rick van Bijnen) we present a novel method for the analysis of quantum gas microscope images. Our method uses deep learning to improve the fidelity with which lattice sites can be classified as occupied or unoccupied. This method is able to improve upon the fidelity of threshold-based methods, following training on large data sets of simulated images.
Group retreat to Grenoble (FR)
The whole group moved to France to the mountain region of Grenoble to attend the special lecture within the “Cécile DeWitt-Morette / School of Physics Houches” prize (more info here). In this occasion, Francesca received the medal from l’Université Grenoble Alpes and gave a talk following the lecture from the Nobel laureate Kip Thorne.
During these days of retreat, we had the chance to discuss a lot of physics, future projects and updates from all the labs. Nice mountain hikes and good French cheeses have been always with us, of course.
