Status of the experiment

For the first time we have loaded individual 174Yb atoms in a small tweezer array at a wavelength of 532nm. Atoms are imaged on the 1S0 -3P1...

Shortly after the 2D MOT we trap atoms again int the 3D MOT. We now use diagonal beams inclined by 59 degrees with only 8mm diameter - signififcantly...

After extensive rebuild of the main experiment and the cooling laser systems we have found the 2D magneto-optical trap (MOT) again!

The first step in...

Philipp Herbig has successfully finished his Bachelor’s project on the topic of servo-bump phase noise suppression.

Quantum computing and simulation...

Using an LCoS spatial light modulator and a high resolution diffraction limited imaging system we have created and optimzed arrays of optical tweezers...

The new glass cell has finally arrived in Hamburg after travelling around the world for almost a year!

We have developed a new sorting algorithm based on the well-known compression algorithm that minimizes exception handling and leads to a faster and...

Our custom-made high NA microscope objectives neccessary for trapping and manipulation of neutral Yb atoms at various different wavelengths have been...

We have successfully implemented a modified Gerchberg-Saxton algorithm for fast high-fidelity optimization and homogenization of optical tweezer...
