Giulia Faraoni is currently doing her PhD degree in Florence (Italy) at the LENS institute. To gather additional experience and skills, she will work with us for a full year on the Erbium experiment on dipolar quantum droplets.
Welcome to our group!
Extended Bose-Hubbard Model
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.
