    Spielman Named AAAS Fellow

    March 26, 2026

    JQI Fellow Ian Spielman has been elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The honor acknowledges his research accomplishments on a broad range of topics. He has simulated phenomena from tiny particles interacting in materials to universes expanding and contracting.

    Conducting Quantum Experiments in the ‘Coolest’ Lab on Campus

    February 16, 2026

    Yanda Geng works with atoms that are cooled to 100 nanokelvin and has discovered interesting patterns that appear everywhere from cosmic scales to the quantum realm.

  • Four squares in a row with the top half blue and bottom half yellow. In the leftmost the interface is smooth. The next interface is two smooth curves. The next interface is two mushroom cloud shapes. The final has no clear interface and shows random swirls and islands of yellow in the blue.

    When Superfluids Collide, Physicists Find a Mix of Old and New

    November 18, 2025

    Superfluids are notable for their unique properties and behaviors arising from the quantum interactions of the particles that make them up. Despite their quantum quirks, superfluids sometimes still behave in mundane ways. A new experiment captured images of two superfluids coming together and revealed that despite their quantum nature, they can still behave in ways that resemble the ripples and mushroom clouds seen in normal fluids.
