Dear group,
there was a really nice lecture by M. Scully (quantum optics)
today in physics about detecting anthrax molecules and more.
(Sorry for the late notice, but I got the notification 5 min
before the talk).
Next week will be a second lecture.
I thought I let you know since he is a great speaker.

Description Marlan O. Scully (TAMU & Princeton)
The study of fluctuations of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is a subtle problem with
many pitfalls and surprises. For example, a simple analytical treatment of fluctuations
near the critical temperature has only recently been achieved. In particular, we find that
a master equation approach, having much in common with the quantum theory of the laser,
yields an accurate and physically transparent picture of BEC fluctuations.
Cheers,
Patrick
