Alkaline earth mono-silicides ({AE}Si, {AE} $=$ Ca, Sr, Ba) are poor metals and their transport properties are not solely determined by the Zintl anion, in contrast to their Zintl-type composition. Their conducting network is formed by the depopulated ${}^{1}_{infty}$[Si$^{2-}$] $pi$-system and {AE}-$d$ states. This justifies the special local coordination of the metal atoms and the planarity of the silicon chains. The low density of carriers seems to be a playground for magnetic instabilities and the triangular prismatic arrangement of {AE} atoms responsible for the observed weak glassy behavior.
The transition from a superfluid to a Mott insulator (MI) phase has been observed in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of ytterbium (Yb) atoms in an optical lattice. An all-optically produced BEC of 174Yb atoms was loaded into three-dimensional optica
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
Apropos to the growing interest in the study of long-range interactions which for their applications in cold atom physics, we have performed theoretical calculation for the two-dipole $C_6$ and three-dipole $C_9$ dispersion coefficients involving alk
Topological superfluids are of technological relevance since they are believed to host Majorana bound states, a powerful resource for quantum computation and memory. Here we propose to realize topological superfluidity with fermionic atoms in an opti
Earth-alkaline-like atoms with ultra-narrow transitions open the door to a new regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics. That regime is characterized by a critical photon number that is many orders of magnitude smaller than what can be achieved in co
