Chalmers University

Alex is visiting the optomechanics lab of Prof Witlef Wieczorek in Chalmers University in Sweden for a few weeks. Witlef has experimental efforts on cavity optomechanics but also on magnetic levitation using superconducting levitation at cryogenic temperatures. Alex is getting into some fun experiments in their lab.
