Spektrum magazine article: glitches in supersolids and neutron stars for Sterne und Weltraum
For German speakers: in this month’s edition of ‘Sterne und Weltraum’ of Spektrum magazine, you will find an article about the links between glitches in supersolids and in neutron stars, written by our very own Elena Poli, Thomas Bland, Manfred Mark, and Francesca Ferlaino, alongside frequent collaborator, Massimo Mannarelli.

Welcome to Felix
Felix Borchers joins us in the T-REQS lab for 5 months as a Masters Intern! Felix is originally from Bonn, Germany and in 2023 he completed his Bachelors in Heidelberg with a thesis on ‘Simulating Absorption Imaging of Ultracold Fermi Gases’. He is currently in the third semester of his Masters in Physics at ETH Zurich. Welcome to the group, Felix!
Welcome to Arina
At the beginning of October, Arina Tashchilina joined our team as a Post-Doc in the T-REQS lab. Arina joins us from the University of Alberta where she was a postdoctoral fellow for three and a half years under the supervision of Prof. Lindsay LeBlanc. Welcome to Innsbruck, Arina!
Goodbye to Tana
On the 4th of October, we said goodbye to the Theory group‘s visiting PhD student Tanausú Hernández Yanes! Tana joined us almost a year ago from the Institute of Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IFPAN), where he obtained the scholarship NAWA PRELUDIUM BIS 1 from the Polish National Agency for Academic Exchange to work with us.
During his visit, Tana worked on many projects such as investigating the expansion of a dipolar gas on the lattice alongside our longtime collaborator Prof. Luca Barbiero. Tana also completed his PhD thesis during his time with our group – good luck with your defense and we wish you the best in the next stage of your career, Tana!
