Observation of Fano-suppression in scattering resonances of bosonic erbium atoms
L. Lafforgue, N. P. Mehta, J. J. A. Houwman +4
The collisional properties of lanthanides exhibit remarkable complexity due to their many valence electrons, leading to an extraordinarily dense Feshbach spectrum showing signs of…
Light-Assisted Collisions in Tweezer-Trapped Lanthanides
D. S. Grün, L. Bellinato Giacomelli, A. Tashchilina +5
We present a quantitative investigation of one- and two-body light-mediated processes that occur to few erbium atoms in an optical tweezer, when exposed to near-resonant light. In…
Optical Tweezer Arrays of Erbium Atoms
D. S. Grün, S. J. M. White, A. Ortu +5
We present the first successful trapping of single erbium atoms in an array of optical tweezers. Using a single narrow-line optical transition, we achieve deep cooling for direct t…
Recent progress on quantum simulations of non-standard Bose-Hubbard models
Titas Chanda, Luca Barbiero, Maciej Lewenstein +2
In recent years, the systems comprising of bosonic atoms confined to optical lattices at ultra-cold temperatures have demonstrated tremendous potential to unveil novel quantum mech…
