Hamburg Photon Science Colloquium | Ultracold strontium for clocks, gravimeters and many-body physics

by Florian Schreck (University of Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Friday 27 Oct 2017, 14:00 → 15:00 Europe/Berlin

CFEL, Bldg. 99 (DESY Hamburg)

Ultracold gases enable precise clocks, gravimeters and designer many-body quantum systems. In part one of my talk I will describe our plan to create a continuous atom laser, its applications to precision measurement, and show a steady-state Sr sample close to quantum degeneracy. In part two I will discuss unusual magnetic Feshbach resonances in Rb-Sr mixtures, which might be the key to create ultracold RbSr molecules, and ideas for many-body physics with these molecules.
