Production of quantum-degenerate strontium gases
Production of quantum-degenerate strontium gases
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 higher atom number, a shorter time of the experimental cycle, or deeper quantum degeneracy than before. We create a BEC of ${}^{84}$Sr exceeding ${10}^{7}$ …
