Habilitation lectureThomas ClarkHUN-REN Wigner RCP SZFIAtomic enlightenment: 
atoms, lasers and a magnetic journey towards a united brainTuesday, 14 
October 2025, 10:00, KFKI Campus, Bldg. 1, 2nd floor, Conference RoomWell, 8 
years, 9 cats and 4 labs later, one thing is now clear. I'm getting older. 
And only in this light, can one reflect on what it might mean to be a senior 
scientist.In this overview therefore, I will forestall my troubled 
relationship with time by considering spatial shaping: of both light and 
atoms. In line with requirements, this will be a whistle-stop tour of past 
work: covering holograms and fibers and software and sensing - interleaved 
with recent phase transitions - at the atomic and meta level. We will 
conclude with a discussion of future plans, outlining the connections in my 
atomic habits, their relation to interferometry and how this might pertain to 
magnetic sensing and its (optimistic) application to medical imaging. If 
reminiscence does nothing to change my position however, I hope to at least 
convince you of the benefits of seeking phase-stability, after nearly a 
decade of interference. Minden érdeklődőt szívesen látunk! - Everyone is 
welcome to attend.Attila Nagysem-admin AT szfki.hu
