Also I miss Cody’s in Berkeley, and was reminded of how awesome it was for technical books

In Cambridge at the Cambridge University Press bookstore. Had forgotten this slypo, my email address turned into my initials in Mike and Ike. (My real initial are DMB yes it is funny)

The force is actually the quantum potential term in Bohmian mechanics

This boat regularly parks in front of my house, silently taunting me.

Very cool. Some tight timing requirements at 30m separation.

Love this picture of Mike and Ike after finishing their book. Ike gave a great talk about the early days of quantum computing, may each of you find yourself in such an era of joy and discovery.

Tracy Northup showing a slide about strong coupling, so many memories of the contents of this slide from years of Caltech talks.

Kip Thorne talking at the Jeff Kimble memorial session on Jeff’s role in the story of squeezing in LIGO. Shown in front of new precision measurement building at Caltech.

Progress in using ab into calculation explaining quantitative trends in high Tc cuperates and maybe some idea of the important dominate interactions.

Finding the nuclear level transition in Thorium. Amazing to see experimental persistence over decades, and maybe someday some amazing solid state clocks.
