Description
We developed a new advanced ultra-cold Dysprosium (Dy) apparatus, which incorporates a quantum gas microscope (QGM) with a resolution of a quarter micrometer. The QGM and the cooling
and trapping regions are within the same vacuum glass vessel assuring simple atom transport between them. We demonstrate the essential experimental steps of laser and evaporative cooling,
lattice loading, transporting and precise positioning of a cloud of the bosonic isotope 164Dy at the
QGM focal plane. Preliminary basic characterization of the QGM and future plans in enabling its
full capacity are outlined. We also present a feasible platform for simulating complex spin models of
quantum magnetism, such as XYZ model, by exploiting a set of closely spaced opposite parity levels
in Dy with a large magnetic and electric dipole moment.
