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…
Bose-Einstein Condensation of an Ytterbium Isotope
Takeshi Fukuhara, Seiji Sugawa, Yoshiro Takahashi
We report the observation of a Bose Einstein condensate in a bosonic isotope of ytterbium (170Yb). More than 10^6 atoms are trapped in a crossed optical dipole trap and cooled by e…
Degenerate Fermi Gases of Ytterbium
Takeshi Fukuhara, Yosuke Takasu, Mitsutaka Kumakura +1
An evaporative cooling was performed to cool the fermionic 173Yb atoms in a crossed optical dipole trap. The elastic collision rate, which is important for the evaporation, turns o…
