French version: Réalisation de gaz quantiques de grand spin Nous proposons d’étudier la propagation de corrélations quantiques dans des assemblées d’atomes de grand spin chargés dans des réseaux optiques. Notre démarche s’inscrit dans le développement de nouvelles méthodes et concepts…

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.

We introduce a spin-orbit coupling scheme, where a retroreflected laser beam selectively diffracts two spin components in opposite directions.

We present a spectroscopy scheme for the 7 kHz wide 689 nm intercombination line of strontium. We rely on shelving detection, where electrons are first excited to a metastable state by the spectroscopy laser before their state is probed using the broad transition at 461 nm.
