We report on the realization of quantum degenerate gas mixtures of the alkaline-earth-metal
element strontium with the alkali-metal element rubidium. A key ingredient of our scheme is …

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 …

We have produced a quantum degenerate mixture of fermionic alkali-metal 6 Li and bosonic
spin-singlet 174 Yb gases. This was achieved using sympathetic cooling of lithium atoms by …

We report the realization of quantum degenerate mixed gases of ytterbium (Yb) isotopes
using all-optical methods. We have succeeded in cooling attractively interacting Yb 176 …

We report on the attainment of Bose-Einstein condensation with ultracold strontium atoms.
We use the Sr 84 isotope, which has a low natural abundance but offers excellent scattering …

We report on an improved scheme to generate Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) and
degenerate Fermi gases of strontium. This scheme allows us to create quantum gases with …

We report the realization of a quantum degenerate mixture of bosonic Rb 87 and fermionic
Yb 171 atoms in a hybrid optical dipole trap with a tunable, species-dependent trapping …

We report on the observation of sympathetic cooling of a cloud of fermionic Li 6 atoms which
are thermally coupled to evaporatively cooled bosonic Rb 87. Using this technique we …

We describe in detail our recent experiments on quantum degenerate gases of ytterbium
(Yb) atoms. Up to now Bose–Einstein condensates of 174 Yb and 170 Yb, and a Fermi …

We present the simultaneous cooling and trapping of an isotopic mixture in a magneto-
optical trap and describe the transfer of the mixture into a conservative, far-off-resonant …
