Bose-Einstein Condensation of Europium
Yuki Miyazawa, Ryotaro Inoue, Hiroki Matsui +2
We report the realization of a Bose-Einstein condensate of europium atoms, which is a strongly dipolar species with unique properties, a highly symmetric $[\mathrm{Xe}]\ 4f^7 6s^2\…
Understanding one-body losses in magnetically trapped metastable europium atoms
Hiroki Matsui, Yuki Miyazawa, Ryotaro Inoue +1
We report the measurement of one-body loss rates for magnetically trapped metastable europium atoms and the study of their loss mechanism. The loss of atoms observed in a magneto-o…
High-Flux Cold Ytterbium Atomic Beam Source Using Two-Dimensional Laser Cooling with Intercombination Transition
Toshiyuki Hosoya, Ryotaro Inoue, Tomoya Sato +1
We demonstrate a high-flux and low transverse temperature atomic beam of ytterbium by applying two-dimensional cooling using the intercom…
Narrow-line magneto-optical trap for europium
Yuki Miyazawa, Ryotaro Inoue, Hiroki Matsui +2
We report on the realization of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) for europium atoms using a narrow-line cooling transition with a natural linewidth of 97 kHz. Our starting point is con…
Magneto-optical trapping of optically pumped metastable europium
Ryotaro Inoue, Yuki Miyazawa, Mikio Kozuma
We demonstrate laser cooling and magneto-optical trapping of europium. The atoms are optically pumped to a metastable state and then loaded from an atomic-beam source via conventio…
Site-resolved imaging of a bosonic Mott insulator using ytterbium atoms
Martin Miranda, Ryotaro Inoue, Naoki Tambo +1
We demonstrate site-resolved imaging of a strongly correlated quantum system without relying on laser-cooling techniques during fluorescence imaging. We observed the formation of M…
