Interestingly, while some species like dysprosium host very high magnetic dipole moments, others like ytterbium are essentially non-magnetic. We will mix these two species at the edges of the dipolar strengths scale to study their interplay and the resulting many-body phases emerging. We will use a high-numerical aperture objective to enable the local manipulation and detection of the ultracold atoms.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"divider2\">Lab Team<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"row\">\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n<div class=\"card\">\r\n<div class=\"portraits\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/?page_id=1859\"> <img class=\"default\" src=\"http:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Francesca_tran-1.png\" alt=\"Francesca Ferlaino\" \/> <\/a><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"description\">\r\n<p class=\"name\">Francesca Ferlaino, Univ.-Prof. Dr.<\/p>\r\n<p class=\"title\">Group Leader \/ PI<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n<div class=\"card\">\r\n<div class=\"portraits\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/?page_id=1861\"> <img class=\"default\" src=\"http:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/MARK_Manfred1.jpg\" alt=\"Manfred Mark\" \/> <\/a><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"description\">\r\n<h3 class=\"name\">Manfred Mark, Dr.<\/h3>\r\n<p class=\"title\">Senior Scientist\/Research Assistant<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"column\">\r\n<div class=\"card\">\r\n<div class=\"portraits\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/team\/members\/fabio-castaneda-vopato\/&quot;\"> <img class=\"default\" src=\"https:\/\/www.erbium.at\/FF\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/CASTANEDA-VOLPATO-_Fabio_web.jpg\" alt=\"Fabio Castaneda Vopato\" \/> <\/a><\/div>\r\n<div class=\"description\">\r\n<h3 class=\"name\">Fabio Castaneda Vopato<\/h3>\r\n<p class=\"title\">PhD Student<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are currently designing and building a new experimental apparatus to study many-body phases of highly-magnetic dysprosium and of mixtures with non-magnetic ytterbium.
