First Dipolar Quantum Mixtures!
Now on Physical Review Letter !
We have created for the first time a dipolar quantum mixture by combining two highly magnetic atomic species, Erbium and Dysprosium. The experiment has been conducted in the RARE Lab and we observe simultaneous quantum degeneracy of 5 Bose-Bose mixture and a Bose-Fermi one.
Simon is now Doctor of Philosophy
On Monday, Simon held his defense for his PhD thesis and is now officially a Doctor of Philosophy.
He will carry out his research as a post-doctoral fellow in the group of Ronald Hanson at Qutech in Delft.
Congratulations and good luck!
First strongly interacting dipolar Fermi gas!
Now in Physical Review Letter!
In our Erbium experiment, we have created the first two component dipolar Fermi gas with tunable interactions. This paves the way to studies of BEC-BCS physics in presence of an unprecedented few-body scattering scenario, including anisotropic long-range dipolar interactions and anisotropic short-range interactions.
Ground state of an ultracold Fermi gas of tilted dipoles in elongated traps
Now on New Journal of Physics
In collaboration with our theory colleagues from Serbia (Antun Balaž, Vladimir Veljic), Germany (Axel Pelster) and Brazil (Aristeu R. P. Lima), we have investigated the ground-state properties of dipolar Fermi gases, extending the current understanding to the case of arbitrary dipole orientation and trapping geometries.
