Dipolar Bose–Einstein condensation of 168Er and anisotropic expansion dynamics

We report on the realization of Bose–Einstein condensation (BEC) of 168Er atoms in a crossed optical dipole trap. A magneto-optical trap is realized with just one laser driving the narrow-line transition which increases the phase space density and facilitates the evaporative cooling. A pure BEC with...
