We are very fortunate to have two recent Ph.D. defenses in our @CUBoulder Experimental Nuclear Physics Group group. Congratulations to Dr. Dan Lis and Dr. Joey Clement, for their thesis work on the @BrookhavenLab sPHENIX Experiment under the direction of my colleague Jamie Nagle! These young scientists helped build and operate a new collider detector, and then go on to personally produce some of the first physics results - a rare and impressive accomplishment.

Using Lieb-Mattis states, a new entanglement-enhanced protocol for differential phase sensing in two-node quantum sensor networks is immune to common-mode noise but robust to local imperfections. The work introduces a unitary and dissipative protocol. 🔗 go.aps.org/4ekVc3D

Scientists have discovered super resonance — a regime of resonance in which the mode maintains a broadband out-of-phase response well beyond its bandwidth — and shown that it enables fully passive, broadband suppression of flow instabilities. Learn more: go.aps.org/3PQxQdR

.@JILAscience physicists have demonstrated a new kind of vacuum ultraviolet laser that is 100-1,000 times more efficient than existing technologies of its kind. The team will present its preliminary findings at the @APSphysics Global Summit. #APSSummit26 bit.ly/40slJFG

New 'vacuum ultraviolet' laser may improve nanotechnology, power nuclear clocks

A new kind of laser could pave the way for practical nuclear clocks—devices that measure time with incredible precision by measuring the "ticking" of thorium
