Congratulations to the recipient of the Leonard Mandel Quantum Optics Award, H. Jeff Kimble (@caltech)! ow.ly/l6HI50RFVWH

Kimble's research covers #quantum optics, metrology, and information science, including the creation of manifestly quantum states of the optical field.

New optical tweezers trap large, irregularly shaped particles: ow.ly/INA250RFVgb

By extracting the target particle's shape from images, the contour-tracking tweezers automatically shape the scanning light pattern for trapping.
