A Mott Insulator of Ultracold Alkaline-Earth-Like Atoms
Takeshi Fukuhara, Seiji Sugawa, Masahito Sugimoto +2
The transition from a superfluid to a Mott insulator (MI) phase has been observed in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of ytterbium (Yb) atoms in an optical lattice. An all-opticall…

All-Optical Formation of Quantum Degenerate Mixtures
Takeshi Fukuhara, Seiji Sugawa, Yosuke Takasu +1
We report the realization of quantum degenerate mixed gases of ytterbium (Yb) isotopes using all-optical methods. We have succeeded in cooling attractively interacting 176Yb atoms…
