We propose and experimentally demonstrate a new cooling mechanism leading to purification of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC).

Magnetism with a dipolar condensate
We report on the production of a degenerate Fermi gas of 53Cr atoms, polarized in the state 𝐹=9/2, 𝑚𝐹=−9/2, by sympathetic cooling with bosonic 𝑆=3, 𝑚𝑆=−3 52Cr atoms.

We experimentally study the spin dynamics of mesoscopic ensembles of ultracold magnetic spin-3 atoms located in two separated wells of an optical dipole trap.

We report on the realization of quantum magnetism using a degenerate dipolar gas in an optical lattice. Our system implements a lattice model resembling the celebrated 𝑡−𝐽 model.
