Vor ziemlich genau 8 Jahren hat Jörg Meuthen, ehem. Vorsitzender der AfD, gesagt, er sehe in den Innenstädten "noch vereinzelt Deutsche". Die Vorsitzende der CDU, Angela Merkel, hat ihm umgehend widersprochen. Friedrich Merz hat heute die Sprache und Position der AfD übernommen.

High-order harmonics are non-classcial!
This has recently been further substantiated by @kittenstate.bsky.social and his colleagues of the QUANTUM group at LOA.

Their observation of a displaced squeezed state is now published in @physrevresearch.bsky.social.

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge?

It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door.

Are you a student or early-career researcher in quantum computing or quantum information? Then the following is for you.

We're organising a focused, community-driven conference at Leibniz Universität Hannover, hosted by Prof. Robert Raussendorf.

Nature study: when do girls fall behind in #maths? During their 1st year at primary school.

4 yr study, 2.6M French children. By comparing kids born a month apart but in diff school years they show it's education, not age, that triggers the gap☹️ 🧪👩‍🔬

👇Excellent 🧵

Wow - I don't remember seeing Magnus choking like this. Props to Gukesh for playing on and sensing the opportunity to take down his predecessor for the first time in classical control. #NorwayChess

1.8% was enough for Dallas. Lucky for them, they will draft the tall guy and possibly win their fan support back

Now replacing the lofi girl with the Vatican chimney cam. Same vibes, just with a bit more suspense.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back.

This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008.

Also bigger than the 2024 DNC.

And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

As a sphere, I couldn't handle the social pressure exhibited by unit spheres. Unrealistic stereotypes also exist in the world of spheres.

Klasse, Habeck ein Buch geschrieben, in dem er das BWV durcharbeitet schön mit Harmonieanalyse und allem drum und dran, dem Titel nach zu urteilen. Werde ich mir auf jeden Fall geben!

A team led by physicist Chien-Shiung Wu obtained the first experimental confirmation of “parity violation,” in the decay of Cobalt-60, #OTD in 1956.

Her theory colleagues received a Nobel for the prediction, but she was left off the prize. 🧪 ⚛️ 👩‍🔬

In 1994 when I worked at Kitt Peak National Observatory, @todlauer.bsky.social made an off-hand comment about grape plasma in the microwave. Being an experimental physicist (read as “nerd”) I immediately tried it during night lunch.

Who knew it was come to this? 🧪🔭⚛️
Grapes double sensor magnetic power in an epic quantum breakthrough
Grape pairs boost quantum sensor performance by enhancing magnetic fields, aiding compact and cost-effective sensor development.
