Mehdi Astaraki wins prestigious international challenge on image segmentation for radiation therapy

The rapid growth of deep learning-based methods has led to the development of a large number of unprecedented solutions for a variety of applications including in medicine. However, before the clinical application of such methods, their performance must be evaluated and validated extensively and objectively.

Single-Shot Measurements of Phonon Number States Using the Autler-Townes Effect

Efficient and reliable detection of motional states is an essential component of many ion-trap experiments. In this recent work a new technique for measuring both Fock and thermal states, based on the Autler-Townes splitting, is demonstrated. The experimental work has been carried out in the group of Markus Hennrich at Fysikum, and was performed in collaboration with the groups of Celso Villas-Boas and Romain Bachelard in São Carlos, Brazil.

Martin Beye is researching on catalysts working against the climate change

“In the past, we developed many new and powerful techniques with x-ray radiation. The time is ripe now to use them for something important”, says Martin Beye. Climate change is the most important topic to be addressed in the world for the coming decades. Martin commits to make his contribution working at Stockholm University, after his start at Fysikum in September 2023. “At Stockholm University, there is a unique environment, knowledge and infrastructure and wonderful colleagues – all that is required to actually make an impact."
