New arrival: Alexandre Bellon
We are welcoming Alexandre Bellon, the new member of the chromium BEC lab team.
We are welcoming Alexandre Bellon, the new member of the chromium BEC lab team.

After a long design period, we have just started the construction of the main vacuum chamber for version 2.0 of the chromium BEC experiment. The assembly is powered by our new post-doc Fatima and our summer intern Esther. Let's hope there is no leak!

Our new paper Using dynamical decoupling to investigate magnetism of large-spin atoms from the chromium BEC lab is out. You can find it on the website Phys. Rev. A at this link.
A warm welcome to Esther Fromm, the new member of the chromium BEC lab team.
Our paper Probing coherences and itinerant magnetism has just been published in Physical Review Letters. You can find it at this link or on arXiv.
A warm welcome to Fatima Rahmouni, the new postdoc of the chromium BEC lab! She is in charge of the big upgrade to v2.0 of the chromium experiment.
We use dynamical decoupling to preserve spin coherence against magnetic fluctuations, which allows us to study itinerant magnetism of lattice-trapped magnetic atoms, driven by magnetic dipole-dipole interactions, in the low-entropy and close-to-unit filling regime. The results are presented in our new paper.
Welcome to Lucas Lavoine, our new associate professor joining the chromium project!
Congratulations to Youssef Aziz Alaoui for his PhD defense!
Welcome to Thomas LauprĂȘtre, starting his post-doctoral research on the chromium project!
