After many years of development of the basic tools, quantum simulation with ultracold atoms
has now reached the level of maturity at which it can be used to investigate complex …

While data qubits with a long coherence time are essential for the storage of quantum
information, ancilla qubits are pivotal in quantum error correction (QEC) for fault-tolerant …

We observe a weakly allowed optical transition of atomic ytterbium from the ground state to
the metastable state 4 f 13 5 d 6 s 2 (J= 2) for all five bosonic and two fermionic isotopes with …

Dissipation is ubiquitous in nature and plays a crucial role in quantum systems such as
causing decoherence of quantum states. Recently, much attention has been paid to an …

Alkaline-earth atoms have metastable 'clock'states with minute-long optical lifetimes, high-
spin nuclei and SU (N)-symmetric interactions, making them powerful platforms for atomic …

We report our realization of a parity–time (PT)-symmetric non-Hermitian many-body system
using cold atoms with dissipation. After develo** a theoretical framework on PT-symmetric …

We study the prospects of using transitions from the ytterbium ground state to metastable
states P 2 o 3 at E= 19 710.388 cm− 1 and 4 f 13 5 d 6 s 2 (J= 2) at E= 23 188.518 cm− 1 as …

In this topical review, we discuss the recent advances in ultracold two-electron atoms. Owing
to their unique electronic level structure and relevant narrow optical transitions, alkaline …

We report on the measurement of the scattering properties of ultracold 174 Yb bosons in a
three-dimensional optical lattice. Site occupancy in an atomic Mott insulator is resolved with …

We report on high-resolution optical spectroscopy of interacting bosonic 174 Yb atoms in
deep optical lattices with negligible tunneling. We prepare Mott insulator phases with singly …
