Crossover from a BEC to a macrodroplet
Together with our theory colleagues from Hannover, we have investigated the formation of a macrodroplet state in an ultracold bosonic gas of erbium atoms.
Extended Bose-Hubbard Model
We have studied the extended Bose-Hubbard Model with dipolar Er atoms as well as how the superfluid-to-Mott-insulator transition is modified by the dipole-dipole interaction.
Quantum Chaos in Ultracold Collisions of Erbium
We have studied the scattering behavior of ultracold Er atoms and observed an enormous number of Fano-Feshbach scattering resonances.
Reaching Fermi Degeneracy via Universal Dipolar Scattering
We have reported on the creation of the first degenerate dipolar Fermi gas of erbium atoms.
Narrow-line magneto-optical trap for erbium
We have reported on the experimental realization of a robust and efficient magneto-optical trap for erbium atoms, based on a narrow cooling transition at 583 nm.
Bose-Einstein Condensation of Erbium
We have reported on the achievement of Bose-Einstein condensation of erbium atoms and on the observation of magnetic Feshbach resonances at low magnetic fields.

The group, led by Francesca Ferlaino, is located at the Institute for Experimental Physics (IExP) of the University of Innsbruck and at the Institute for Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI) of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.
