Since the achievement of quantum degeneracy in gases of chromium atoms in 2004, the
experimental investigation of ultracold gases made of highly magnetic atoms has …

Isolated quantum many-body systems with integrable dynamics generically do not
thermalize when taken far from equilibrium. As one perturbs such systems away from the …

We systematically investigate the zero temperature phase diagram of bosons interacting via
dipolar interactions in three dimensions in free space via path integral Monte Carlo …

We investigate two-body collisions occurring during the time-of-flight expansion of
interacting three-dimensional lattice Bose superfluids. The number of collisions is extracted …

We demonstrate laser cooling and magneto-optical trap** of europium. The atoms are
optically pumped to a metastable state and then loaded from an atomic-beam source via …

Ultracold atomic gases have realized numerous paradigms of condensed matter physics,
where control over interactions has crucially been afforded by tunable Feshbach …

This thesis describes experiments investigating the collisions of alkali metal atoms at
energies between 10− 2000 µK, measured in units of the Boltzmann constant. The atoms …

We investigate the scattering halos resulting from collisions between discrete momentum
components in the time-of-flight expansion of interaction-tunable $^ 6\rm Li_2 $ molecular …

The excited bands in optical lattices manifest an important tool for studying quantum
simulation and many-body physics, making it crucial to measure high-band scattering …

Laser-cooled lanthanide atoms are ideal candidates with which to study strong and
unconventional quantum magnetism with exotic phases. Here, we use state-of-the-art closed …
