Abstract

Abstract : We have built an ultra-high vacuum experimental apparatus for trapping and cooling of strontium, demonstrated its operation, and used it to trap and cool all four stable isotopes of this alkaline earth metal. As part of the design and construction of this apparatus, we have developed a new type of atomic beam nozzle and a new type of permanent-magnet Zeeman slower. We have discovered and described a new cooling technique for degenerate bosonic quantum gases in optical lattices. We have developed the fifirst theoretical treatment of a lattice-based quantum Kapitza pendulum, a novel Floquet system which we are investigating using modulated optical lattices. We have proposed and are developing new techniques of quantum gas microscopy and quantum sensing applicable to alkaline earth quantum gases. We have helped found a new collaborative institute for quantum emulation.
