Preparing a highly degenerate Fermi gas in an optical lattice
J. R. Williams, J. H. Huckans, R. W. Stites +2
We propose a method to prepare a sample of fermionic atoms in a three-dimensional (3D) optical lattice at unprecedentedly low temperatures and uniform filling factors. The process…

Observation of Reduced Three-Body Recombination in a Fermionized 1D Bose Gas
B. Laburthe Tolra, K. M. O'Hara, J. H. Huckans +3
We investigate correlation properties of a one-dimensional interacting Bose gas by loading a magnetically trapped 87-Rb Bose-Einstein condensate into a deep two-dimensional optical…
