Symmetry plays a fundamental role in understanding complex quantum matter, particularly
in classifying topological quantum phases, which have attracted great interests in the recent …

We describe an experimental setup for producing a large cold erbium (Er) sample in a
narrow-line magneto-optical trap (MOT) in a simple and efficient way. We implement a pair …

We measure collective excitations of a harmonically trapped two-dimensional (2D) SU (N)
Fermi gas of Yb 173 confined to a stack of layers formed by a one-dimensional optical …

We have performed a study of several cesium oven designs. A comparison between
recirculating (or sticking-wall) and collimating (or re-emitting-wall) ovens is made in order to …

Alkaline-earth-like elements play pivotal roles in advanced quantum sensing technologies,
notably optical clocks, with unprecedented precision achieved in recent years. Despite …

We present a simple and effective method to implement an active stabilization of a diode
laser with injection locking, which requires minimal user intervenes. The injection-locked …

We report the design and construction of a simple, easy to machine high temperature oven
for generating an atomic beam in laser cooling experiments. This design eliminates the …

The collective dipole mode is induced and measured in a spin-orbit (SO) coupled
degenerate Fermi gas of 173Yb atoms. Using a differential optical Stark shift, we split the …

Ultra-narrow clock transition of ytterbium atoms has enabled not only quantum metrology but
also quantum simulation of various quantum phenomena. One of such examples is a new …
