We study the effect of the coupling between the electronic ground state of high spin alkaline-earth fermionic atoms and their metastable optically excited state, when the system is confined in a one-dimensional chain, and show that the system provides a possible realization of a finite momentum pairing (Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov-like) state without spin- or bare mass imbalance. We determine the $beta$-functions of the renormalization group trajectories for general spin and analyze the structure of the possible gapped and gapless states in the hydrodynamic limit. Due to the SU(N) symmetry in the spin space, complete mode separation can not be observed even in the fully gapless 2N-component Luttinger liquid state. Contrary, 4 velocities characterize the system. We solve the renormalization group equations for spin-9/2 strontium-87 isotope and analyze in detail its phase diagram. The fully gapless Luttinger liquid state does not stabilize in the two-orbital system of the $^{87}$Sr atoms, instead, different gapped non-Gaussian fixed points are identified either with dominant density or superconducting fluctuations. The superconducting states are stable in a nontrivial shaped region in the parameter space as a consequence of the coupling between the two electronic states.

Recent experiments with Yb-173 and Sr-87 isotopes provide new possibilities to study high spin two-orbital systems. Within these experiments part of the atoms are excited to a higher energy metastable electronic state mimicking an additional internal
(orbital) degree of freedom. The interaction between the atoms depends on the orbital states, therefore four different scattering channels can be identified in the system characterized by four independent couplings. When the system is confined into a one-dimensional chain the scattering lengths can be tuned by changing the transverse confinement, and driven through four resonances. Using the new available experimental data of the scattering lengths we analyze the phase diagram of the one-dimensional system as the couplings are tuned via transverse confinement, and the populations of the two orbital states are changed. We found that three orders compete showing power law decay: a state with dominant density wave fluctuations, another one with spin density fluctuations, and a third one characterized by exotic Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov-like pairs consisting one atom in the electronic ground state and one in the excited state. We also show that sufficiently close to the resonances the compressibility of the system starts to diverge indicating that the emerging order is unstable and collapses to a phase separated state with a first order phase transition.
We demonstrate single-shot imaging and narrow-line cooling of individual alkaline earth atoms in optical tweezers; specifically, strontium-88 atoms trapped in $515.2~text{nm}$ light. We achieve high-fidelity single-atom-resolved imaging by detecting
photons from the broad singlet transition while cooling on the narrow intercombination line, and extend this technique to highly uniform two-dimensional arrays of $121$ tweezers. Cooling during imaging is based on a previously unobserved narrow-line Sisyphus mechanism, which we predict to be applicable in a wide variety of experimental situations. Further, we demonstrate optically resolved sideband cooling of a single atom close to the motional ground state of a tweezer. Precise determination of losses during imaging indicate that the branching ratio from $^1$P$_1$ to $^1$D$_2$ is more than a factor of two larger than commonly quoted, a discrepancy also predicted by our ab initio calculations. We also measure the differential polarizability of the intercombination line in a $515.2~text{nm}$ tweezer and achieve a magic-trapping configuration by tuning the tweezer polarization from linear to elliptical. We present calculations, in agreement with our results, which predict a magic crossing for linear polarization at $520(2)~text{nm}$ and a crossing independent of polarization at 500.65(50)nm. Our results pave the way for a wide range of novel experimental avenues based on individually controlled alkaline earth atoms in tweezers -- from fundamental experiments in atomic physics to quantum computing, simulation, and metrology implementations.
We discuss the collective modes in an alkaline-earth Fermi gas close to an orbital Feshbach resonance. Unlike the usual Feshbach resonance, the orbital Feshbach resonance in alkaline-earth atoms realizes a two-band superfluid system where the fermion
ic nature of both the open and the closed channel has to be taken into account. We show that apart from the usual Anderson-Bogoliubov mode which corresponds to the oscillation of total density, there also appears the long-sought Leggett mode corresponding to the oscillation of relative density between the two channels. The existence of the phonon and the Leggett modes and their evolution are discussed in detail. We show how these collective modes are reflected in the density response of the system.
We report on the deterministic preparation of antiferromagnetic Heisenberg spin chains consisting of up to four fermionic atoms in a one-dimensional trap. These chains are stabilized by strong repulsive interactions between the two spin components wi
thout the need for an external periodic potential. We independently characterize the spin configuration of the chains by measuring the spin orientation of the outermost particle in the trap and by projecting the spatial wave function of one spin component on single-particle trap levels. Our results are in good agreement with a spin-chain model for fermionized particles and with numerically exact diagonalizations of the full few-fermion system.
We study spin liquid phases of spin-5/2 alkaline earth atoms on a honeycomb lattice at finite temperatures. Our analysis is based on a Gutzwiller projection variational approach recast to a path-integral formalism. In the framework of a saddle-point
approximation we determine spin liquid phases with lowest free energy and study their temperature dependence. We identify a critical temperature, where all the spin liquid phases melt and the system goes to the paramagnetic phase. We also study the stability of the saddle-point solutions and show that a time-reversal symmetry breaking state, a so called chiral spin liquid phase is realized even at finite temperatures. We also determine the spin structure factor, which, in principle, is an experimentally measurable quantity and is the basic tool to map the spectrum of elementary excitations of the system.
