Dipolar Shielding and Sub-wavelength Bilayers in a Quantum Gas of Dysprosium

In our paper Can the Dipolar Interaction Suppress Dipolar Relaxation?, by using magnetic dysprosium atoms and an optical lattice we engineered the dipolar suppression of dipolar relaxation in an ultra-cold gas prepared in an excited Zeeman level. The atoms were confined to ultra-thin layers, with th...
