Dipolar physics: A review of experiments with magnetic quantum gases
In this review, we aim to present the aspects of the magnetic quantum-gas platform that make it unique for exploring ultracold and quantum physics as well as to give a thorough overview of experimental achievements.

Measuring densities of cold atomic clouds smaller than the resolution limit
We propose and demonstrate an experimental method to measure by absorption imaging the size and local column density of a cloud of atoms, even when its smallest dimension is smaller than the resolution of the imaging system.

Workshop: Heraeus workshop on long-range interacting quantum systems, Vienna
Quantum thermalization of long-range interacting spins
Relaxation of the collective magnetization of a dense 3D array of interacting dipolar S = 3 atoms
We report on measurements of the dynamics of the total magnetization and spin populations in an almost unit-filled lattice system comprising about 10^4 spin 𝑆 =3 chromium atoms, under the effect of dipolar interactions.

Adiabatic spin-dependent momentum transfer in an SU(𝑁) degenerate Fermi gas
We introduce a spin-orbit coupling scheme, where a retroreflected laser beam selectively diffracts two spin components in opposite directions.

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!
