“Anomalous loss behavior in a single-component Fermi gas close to a p-wave Feshbach resonance” published in Phys. Rev. A !

This month, our paper on “Anomalous loss behavior in a single-component Fermi gas close to a p-wave Feshbach resonance” was published in Phys. Rev. A! In this work we studied the theoretical processes of three-body loss in a p-wave interacting Fermi gas. The study predicts a new type of three-body loss behavior in these kinds of systems which could be observed in lithium-6 polarized in the lowest hyperfine groundstate. Reference:

Mini-workshop on polarons

On the 8th of December 2022, we had the pleasure to host a mini-workshop on polaron physics. Our LiCs team met with the experimental LiK group of Prof. Rudi Grimm from Innsbruck (Austria) and the theoretical groups of Prof. Richard Schmidt and Prof. Tilman Enss from Heidelberg (Germany). Each of them presented their activities and discussed possible collaborations.

QSEC2022 Conference in Bingen

From the 14th to the 18th of November took place in Bingen am Rhein (Germany) the International Conference on Quantum Systems in Extreme Conditions (QSEC2022), organized by the Collaborative Research Center “Isoquant”. Within our group, Eleonora and Lauriane were part of the Organizing Committee. The conference has the aim to bring together experimental and theoretical researchers working on quantum systems in extreme conditions. The event focuses on cross-disciplinary developments from heavy ion collisions, precision spectroscopy in highly charged ions, and ultracold quantum gases.

Annika receives the Ruprecht-Karl Prize 2022 for Physics

Annika Tebben has been awarded with the “Ruprecht-Karls-Preis” for Physics for her PhD dissertation on “Rydberg Electromagnetically Induced Transparency – A vanishing linear response, resonances, and a stationary Rydberg polariton “. The ceremony took place on the evening of November 4th in the “Alten Aula” of the University of Heidelberg. We are proud of her and we wish her the best of luck for her future.
