Bose-Einstein Condensate of strontium atoms

We are setting up a new experiment for the realisation of Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) of strontium atoms. In a BEC, one achieves macroscopic filling of atoms in a single quantum state, which manifests itself as a sharp peak in momentum as well as in position space. Read more
