If two atoms...5 July 2018|ilp SengstockCreation of quantum degenerate Fermi-Fermi mixtures in YbPhoto: UHH/SponseleeWe have created quantum degenerate mixtures of the two fermionic isotopes 171Yb and 173Yb. By adjusting the correspondning MOT loading times we are...10 December 2015|ilp SengstockDissipative dynamics of meta-stable Fermions in an optical latticePhoto: AG SengstockWe have analyzed the dynamical behaviour of ultracold fermions in a metastable state trapped in a 1D optical lattice. Strong dissipative interactions...5 December 2013|ilp SengstockHigh precission spectroscopy of ultracold Fermions in a triangular optical latticePhoto: AG SengstockFirst spectroscopic measurements using the ultra-stable clock laser have been performed on the doubly forbidden 1S0-3P0 transition. A sample of spin...10 July 2013|ilp SengstockMott insulator of Yb in a triangular optical latticePhoto: AG SengstockLast night we have observed the superfluid-to-Mott-insulator transition in a triangular optical lattice. The pictures show the vanishing visibility of...Show all news
