Three projects at the Joint Quantum Institute: Francium, Cavity QED, and Nanofibers

I will report on recent developments on three projects at the Joint Quantum Institute where I participate: 1) Francium spectroscopy where we perform precision spectroscopy on francium to carry out experiments to understand better the weak interaction, 2) Cavity QED as a tool to study questions on quantum statistical mechanics, and 3) Optical nanofibers where we have been able to measure the dynamical propagation of higher order modes.
