…collisions near the resonance, which effectively allows to cool the ion. The theoretical analysis of Polish scientists allowed to determine previously unknown interaction parameters and to predict the position of resonances, which were not initially detected in the experiment.   An open path for new experiments Ultracold ion-atom systems have many potential applications in quantum computing and simulations. The results obtained by physicists open…

…The motion and rotation of the images, although well-defined theoretically, had never been directly observed before. – We predicted how big and wide the maximum brightness will be. In cooperation with other astronomers, primarily our colleagues from Sorbonne in Paris and the University of Heidelberg, observations with the world’s largest telescopes were carried out. For the first time, we were able to register not only two separate images of the s…

…guished and recognizable scientists. Well-known and highly-appreciated for his excellent lectures, scientific breakthrough work and interdisciplinary discoveries.

…an economic point of view, the decision on the mode of education in 2021/2022 was taken as early as possible to help students from other parts of the country determine whether they move to Warsaw, rent a flat or a room in the UW residence hall. Therefore, the fact that we are committed to our decision about the regular mode of study shows our profound concern that our community members could make their life decisions while trusting the declaratio…

…new gravitational-wave events observed between November, 2019, and March, 2020, during the second part of the third and most recent LIGO-Virgo observation period (O3b), bring to 90 the total number of gravitational signals detected to date by the global three-interferometer network.   Most of the new signals originate from the whirling spiral of two merging black holes: cosmic quakes that shake the fabric of spacetime, generating a powerful burst…
