Measuring densities of cold atomic clouds smaller than the resolution limit
Andrea Litvinov, Pierre Bataille, Etienne Maréchal +4
We propose and demonstrate an experimental method to measure by absorption imaging the size and local column density of a cloud of atoms, even when its smallest dimension is smalle…
Adiabatic spin-dependent momentum transfer in an SU(N) degenerate Fermi gas
P. Bataille, A. Litvinov, I. Manai +7
We introduce a spin-orbit coupling scheme, where a retro-reflected laser beam selectively diffracts two spin components in opposite directions. Spin sensitivity is provided by swee…
Shelving spectroscopy of the strontium intercombination line
I. Manai, A. Molineri, C. Fréjaville +8
We present a spectroscopy scheme for the 7-kHz-wide 689-nm intercombination line of strontium. We rely on shelving detection, where electrons are first excited to a metastable stat…
Exploring out-of-equilibrium quantum magnetism and thermalization in a spin-3 many-body dipolar lattice system
S. Lepoutre, J. Schachenmayer, L. Gabardos +7
Understanding quantum thermalization through entanglement build-up in isolated quantum systems addresses fundamental questions on how unitary dynamics connects to statistical physi…
Note on the reflectance of mirrors exposed to a strontium beam
J. Huckans, W. Dubosclard, E. Maréchal +3
The high chemical reactivity of strontium, which can opacify a viewport exposed to a strontium atomic source, is a concern for some atomic physics experiments where it is sometimes…
Probing spin dynamics from the Mott insulating to the superfluid regime in a dipolar lattice gas
Aurélie de Paz, Paolo Pedri, Arijit Sharma +6
We analyze the spin dynamics of an out-of-equilibrium large spin dipolar atomic Bose gas in an optical lattice. We observe a smooth crossover from a complex oscillatory behavior to…
A chromium dipolar Fermi sea
B. Naylor, A. Reigue, E. Maréchal +3
We report on the production of a degenerate Fermi gas of 53Cr atoms, polarized in the state F=9/2, m_F=-9/2, by sympathetic cooling with bosonic S=3, m_S=-3 52Cr atoms. We load in…
Control of dipolar relaxation in external fields
B. Pasquiou, G. Bismut, Q. Beaufils +6
We study dipolar relaxation in both ultra-cold thermal and Bose-condensed chromium atom gases. We show three different ways to control dipolar relaxation, making use of either a st…
Averaging out magnetic forces with fast rf-sweeps in an optical trap for metastable chromium atoms
Q. Beaufils, R. Chicireanu, A. Pouderous +6
We introduce a novel type of time-averaged trap, in which the internal state of the atoms is rapidly modulated to modify magnetic trapping potentials. In our experiment, fast radio…
