Here's a link to a 2048-inspired browser game I made in graduate school. You'll have to win it to find out the best University of California!
This is an image of an abacus I made in the University of Chicago machine shop. The abacus is widely regarded as humankind's first calculating tool. I am a strong believer in the idea that if you want to make a useful quantum computer, you have to first understand how classical computation works.
Here's an image of a Faraday cage system I made in the Bernien Lab. The Faraday cage is made from six electrically isolated plates that each have individual voltage control. The apertures in the plates give access for high-resolution microscopic imaging of single atoms and for laser cooling light along all axes. Importantly, each aperture is covered with grids of 15 micron diameter gold wire spaced by 0.5 mm to increase electric field suppression and applied electric field homogeniety.
Here is an image of a dual-species 2D+ MOT! You can see the fluorescence from a long, "dense" tube of cold Rb and Cs atoms in the center of the glass cell.
My favorite motivational saying, inspired by the famous 'Tablecloth trick" problem from An Introduction to Mechanics by Kleppner and Kolenkow. A screenshot from the book is on the right.
