Dissipative cooling of spin chains by a bath of dipolar particles

We consider a spin chain of fermionic atoms in an optical lattice, interacting with each other by super-exchange interactions. We theoretically investigate the dissipative evolution of the spin chain when it is coupled by magnetic dipole–dipole interaction to a bath consisting of atoms with a strong magnetic moment.

Note on the reflectance of mirrors exposed to a strontium beam

While a number of experiments use heated sapphire windows to reduce strontium deposition and increase the viewport lifetime, here we study another possibility, consisting of sending the laser beam into the atomic flux by reflecting it off a mirror at 45 degree exposed to the strontium flux. We present our attempt to find a substrate that can be exposed to strontium and maintain high reflectivity.
