The study of open quantum systems–microscopic systems exhibiting quantum coherence
that are coupled to their environment–has become increasingly important in the past years …

After decades of improvements in cooling techniques of several atomic species and in
finding methods for the achievement of stable quantum mixtures, the field is now ready for …

An evaporative cooling strategy that uses a two-component Fermi gas was employed to cool
a magnetically trapped gas of 7× 105 40K atoms to 0.5 of the Fermi temperature T F. In this …

We report the observation of coexisting Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) and Fermi gas in a
magnetic trap. With a very small fraction of thermal atoms, the 7 Li condensate is quasipure …

We have measured independently both s-wave and p-wave cross-dimensional
thermalization rates for ultracold 40 K atoms held in a magnetic trap. These measurements …

A dynamic magneto-optical trap, which relies on the rapid randomization of population in
Zeeman substates, has been demonstrated for fermionic strontium atoms on the S 0 1-P 1 3 …

We review the status of cooling techniques aimed at achieving the deepest quantum
degeneracy for atomic Fermi gases. We first discuss some physics motivations, providing a …

We have produced an interacting quantum degenerate Fermi gas of atoms composed of two
spin states of magnetically trapped 40 K. The relative Fermi energies are adjusted by …

Transition rates between coupled states in a quantum system depend on the density of
available final states. The radiative decay of an excited atomic state has been suppressed …

Degenerate quantum gases of alkaline-earth-like elements open new opportunities in
research areas ranging from molecular physics to the study of strongly correlated systems …
