Description
Our group is studying the unique features of lanthanide atoms, such as dysprosium, for molecular quantum science.
We are building a new apparatus for controlling ultracold reactions between dysprosium atoms and dimers using an optical cavity. We report on the realization of a MOT of dysprosium and how we plan to achieve a molecular BEC.
On the side, we are exploring the optical spectra of dysprosium-bearing molecules and discovered a new properties that enables quantum-state-resolved creation of internally cold molecular ions. We discuss the new opportunities from this effect, in particular related to eEDM experiments.
