Show off your lab!

[Fernanda]

Ok...we should have some fun with this.

Place a link to a pic of your lab. Please don\'t post it here so that we don\'t get charged for extra megs with the server. Don\'t forget to describe what the heck we are supposed to be looking at!
In windows, this is easy, right-click on the picture, properties and copy-paste the link you see there.

I\'ll start off with mine

This expensive aquarium has the STM witht he yellow/red thing attached to it. LEED and Ion Sputter on the left, mini cryo/cleaving chamber in the middle, round chamber up top is the PLD deposition chamber (brand spankin\' new!), with a Lambda Physik COMPEX 201 KrFl 248 nm LASER on the right (my pride and joy).
:wow:

This is our new baby. When she grows up, she\'s supposed to be 10 teraflops of parallel computing fun. The hardware and software are pretty much all designed by people here (not me). We used a custom design to optimize the computer for doing things helpful to QCD calculations (6-d network, very fast nearest-neighbor comunications).

Great idea for a thread. I just posted some pictures on my webpage, though I am anything but a web designer. These pictures might take a while to load if your using dial up.

Here\'s the link:

My Lab Pics (http://pubweb.northwestern.edu/~krs578)

The first picture is our Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT) where we can trap rubidium atoms. Its an ultra high vaccum that we got down to 10^-11 torr!

The second picture is a wider shot of the lab just to show off the sea of optics we use.

The third picture, which looks like a diasaster area, is some of the electronics for our lasers and AOMs. I try to stay away from this part of the lab as much as possible.

The fourth and final picture is the one I\'m most proud of. We connected a ccd camera to our MOT to get a picture of the trapped atoms. The light blob in the middle of the screen is comprised of milliions of rubidium atoms, which have been trapped by six laser beams in our main chamber (picture 1). The strands of light on the sides of the blob is the magnetic wire guide we built to contain the atoms.

The main goal of our project, and the topic of my Ph.D. thesis, will be quantum teleportation of a single atom.

Our university does that too! Rubidium even. Dr. Zhu is the guru here.

Anyone else have lab pics? C\'mon guys/gals...show it off!!!:grin::beer:
