First experimental results using the degenerate Fermi gas
First experimental results using the degenerate Fermi gas! We used spin-orbit coupling to selectively manipulate and probe up to four selected spin states at once. We also present our new quantum gas machine setup, down to T/Tf ~ 0.2. Check it out here!
Magnetic Atoms Quantum Simulators / QUANTERA CONSORTIUM MAQS
We propose to realize a novel quantum simulator made of magnetic atoms in periodic potentials, which will enable the investigation of quantum-many body problems associated with long-range dipole-dipole interactions.
New spectroscopy scheme
We concluded a great collaborative work with Marc Cheneau and his team, at Laboratoire Charles Fabry, on a new spectroscopy scheme for the intercombination line for strontium. For a large spectroscopy signal and a low complexity, look here.
New arrival: Andrea Litvinov
Welcome to Andrea Litvinov, for his PhD on the strontium apparatus!
Fermionic degeneracy
Fermionic degeneracy reached! We now produce 10-component spinor Fermi gases of strontium 87, around half the Fermi temperature.
