Georgios Vasilakis, a postdoc in Quantop is working on the experiments in the quantum optics laboratory. Here, the researchers have a tiny glass tube that contains a cloud of billions of caesium atoms and using laser light, the tilts of all of the atoms are turned in the same direction and you can calculate the ultra-small magnetic fields with great precision.
