We report on the study of itinerant magnetism of lattice-trapped magnetic atoms, driven by magnetic dipole-dipole interactions, in the low-entropy and close-to-unit filling regime.

Detecting entanglement in large ensembles of large spin atoms
In this work we report on our investigation of the quantum many-body dynamics of a large ensemble of bosonic magnetic chromium atoms with spin 𝑆=3 in a three-dimensional lattice as a function of lattice depth. Using extensive theory and experimental comparisons, we study the dynamics of the population of the different Zeeman levels and the total magnetization of the gas across the superfluid to the Mott insulator transition.

We report on a scheme to cool and compress trapped clouds of highly magnetic 52Cr atoms. This scheme combines sequences of gray molasses, which freeze the velocity distribution, and free evolutions in the (close to) harmonic trap, which periodically exchange the spatial and velocity degrees of freedom.

We report on the observation of a collective spin mode in a spinor Bose-Einstein condensate.

We study the spin dynamics and approach towards local thermal equilibrium of a macroscopic ensemble of S = 3 chromium atoms pinned in a three dimensional optical lattice and prepared in a pure coherent spin state, under the effect of magnetic dipole–dipole interactions.

We study spin mixing dynamics in a chromium dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate, after tilting the atomic spins by an angle 𝜃 with respect to the magnetic field.
