“…Neutral ytterbium is exploited in a range of atomic physics experiments. In ultracold gases, studies include, Bose-Einstein condensates in lattices [1][2][3], degenerate Fermi gases [4][5][6][7], artificial gauge potentials [8][9][10], quantum many-body simulations [11,12], and ultracold molecules [13,14]. In parallel, ytterbium has been used to develop one of the world's most accurate atomic frequency references [15][16][17][18][19].…”
