Lewis R. B. Picard is a David and Ellen Lee Postdoctoral Scholar at Caltech, where he works in Manuel Endres’s lab on quantum science with optical tweezer arrays of strontium atoms. He completed his PhD in physics at Harvard University on entanglement of individual ultracold molecules in optical tweezers. Before coming to study in the US, Lewis pursued an MSci in physics and chemistry at Durham University in the UK.

Cold-Trapped Atoms Stay Trapped Longer

By housing an optical tweezer array inside a cryogenic vacuum chamber, researchers have trapped rubidium Rydberg atoms for up to 50 minutes. Read More »
