Bose-Einstein condensate in gases of rare atomic species

Abstract

We report on the successful extension of production of Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) to rare species. Despite its low natural abundance of 0.13%, ${}^{168}$Yb is directly evaporatively cooled down to BEC. Our successful demonstration encourages attempts to obtain quantum gases of radioactive atoms, which extends the possibility of quantum many-body physics and precision measurement. Moreover, a stable binary mixture of ${}^{168}$Yb BEC and ${}^{174}$Yb BEC is successfully formed.
