The BernienLab is growing and we are very excited to welcome the latest additions: Nayana Tiwari is joining from CalPoly as a PhD in the quantum network lab, Nikhil Harle is joining from Yale the new dual-species atom array setup, and Ana Lucia Michielsen is a UChicago undergraduate research on the new dual-species array. We are very much looking forward to working together and doing amazing science! Welcome!

Kevin Singh and Yu-Hao Deng of the BernienLab are both awardees of the 2023 Quantum Creators Prize. The prize recognizes ground-breaking achievements of early career researchers. As part of the prize, Kevin and Yu-Hao will present their research at the Chicago Quantum Summit. Congratulations, Kevin and Yu-Hao!

Today our article on quantum networks with atomic processing nodes was published in npj Quantum Information. If you are interested in our future vision of quantum networks with advanced functionalities beyond QKD, check out this article. It was a lot of fun to work on this together with Jacob Covey and Harald Weinfurter.

At the first Quantum Networks Workshop by AWS Noah Glachman presented his work on the integration of atomic arrays with a telecom photonic chip. His poster drew a lot of attention and won him the Best Poster Award. Congratulations to Noah!
