Dipolar Quantum Gases – Center for Ultracold Atoms and Quantum Gases, IExP and IQOQI, Innsbruck

Welcome to our Group Homepage!

27/07/201513/12/2015 by FF

The Dipolar Quantum Gas Group is one of the three teams composing the Innsbruck Center for Ultracold Atoms and Quantum Gases (AG Ferlaino/Grimm/Nägerl) and focuses on ultracold strongly magnetic Lanthanide atoms, which are a novel and powerful resource for realizing dipolar quantum matter.

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.

Short video about the Erbium lab

25/09/2016 by Daniel Petter

Back in 2009, the Erbium experiment was starting with funding from the Austrian academy of science (through an FWF START-price) and an ERC Starting grant. Since the START price is now expired, the FWF send a Camera team to our lab for a short video. You can watch it here:

ERBIUM NEWS

Now in Science! In collaboration with the theory colleagues in Innsbruck (Zoller, Baranov, Cai), we have realized and studied the extended Bose-Hubbard Model with dipolar Er atoms and studied how the superfluid-to-Mott-insulator transition is modified under the influence of the anisotropic and long-range dipole-dipole interaction.
