The last year passed by really quickly and unfortunately Giulia’s and Jan’s time here in Innsbruck is over and they are heading towards new goals. All we can do is saying thank you, for a very nice year and wish you all the best for your future. Needless to say you are always welcome here in IBK.
Ciao-ciao and Tschüss 🙂
From June until August Blair Blakie, Professor at the University of Otago NZ, is visiting our group here in Innsbruck to work with us on various topics of dipolar quantum gases. Regarding his wide-spread knowledge from optical lattices, rotons, droplets, spinor condensates, mixtures,… we are looking forward to a productive time with him!
Welcome to Innsbruck, Blair!
This week, Maximilian Sohmen started as a PhD student in the Rare lab. He recieved his masters degree from the university of Heidelberg under supervision of Matthias Weidemüller. For his master thesis, he moved for a full year to Cambrige to join the Group of Zoran Hadzibabic to work on ‘Optical Gray-Molasses Cooling of Potassium-39’.
On thursday, Alex held his defense for his master thesis and is now officially a Master of Science! Congratulations!
We are happy, that Alex will stay with our team and continue his work in the RARE lab as a PhD student. 🙂
After finishing his Ph.D. in the group of Markus Oberthaler in Heidelberg and a few months of traveling to Asia, Arno has joined our RARE lab to work on the double magneto-optical trap for Dysprosium and Erbium. Welcome to Innsbruck! 🙂

Now in Physical Review X!
Together with our theory colleagues from Hannover (Luis Santos and Falk Wächtler), we have investigated the formation of a macrodroplet state in an ultracold bosonic gas of erbium atoms. Our paper has been now published in PRX and featured in Physics! MORE
