The Dipolar Quantum Gas Group is one of the three teams composing the Innsbruck Center for Ultracold Atoms and Quantum Gases. We focus on highly magnetic magnetic Lanthanide atoms, Erbium and Dysprosium, 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.
We have three experimental apparatuses. The ERBIUM machine operates on Er atoms and produced the first Er Bose-Einstein condensate and degenerate Fermi gas. The ER-DY machine is studying degenerate mixtures of two different lanthanides: Er and Dy. The T-Reqs is currently under construction and aims at studying Rydberg states of Er. A new theory sub-division within our group is under development.

Group news
After finishing his Ph.D. in the group of Markus Oberthaler in Heidelberg and a few months of traveling to Asia, Arno has joined our RARE lab to work on the double magneto-optical trap for Dysprosium and Erbium. Welcome to Innsbruck! 🙂

On 3rd and 4th of November 2016 the Erbium team from Innsbruck, the Dysprosium team of Tilman Pfau from Stuttgart and theorists from Luis Santos group from Hannover gathered in Maria Waldrast for an informal meeting, to discuss future prospects of ultracold quantum gases of lanthanide atoms.
