Now in Physical Review X!
Together with our theory colleagues from Hannover (Luis Santos and Falk Wächtler), we have investigated the formation of a macrodroplet state in an ultracold bosonic gas of erbium atoms. Our paper has been now published in PRX and featured in Physics! MORE
Forschungsgruppe-Taskforce meeting in Maria Waldrast
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.
Moritz joins RARE-lab
After doing a summer internship in our group, Moritz Koenemann has joined the RARE team for his master thesis to work on the upcoming Rydberg-chamber.
Claudia and Gabriele join our group
Originally from Caserta, Claudia Politi and Gabriele Natale are master students of the University of Pisa and now joined us in Innsbruck for the next full year. Welcome! 🙂
The Long-range workshop in Ercolano
This year, from 6.-9. September 2016, the third edition of the workshop on ‘Long-range interactions in the ultracold’, took place in Ercolano (Naples, IT). Since the event was organised by Francesca (together with Antoine Browaeys and Robert Löw), the whole team joined in for the event, rented a Minibus and drove all the way down to southern Italy.
