Optical transport of ultracold atoms for the production of groundstate RbYb — •Tobias Franzen, Bastian Pollklesener, Christian Sillus, Anna Hülkenberg, and Axel Görlitz — Institut für Experimentalphysik, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf

Ultracold dipolar molecules constitute a promising system for the investigation of topics like ultracold chemistry, novel interactions in quantum gases, precision measurements and quantum information.

Here we report on first experiments in our apparatus for the production of ultracold RbYb molecules. This setup constitutes an improvement of our old apparatus, where the interactions in RbYb and possible routes to molecule production have already been studied extensively [1,2]. In the new setup a major goal is the efficient production of ground state RbYb molecules.

We employ optical tweezers to transport individually cooled samples of ultracold Rb and Yb from their separate production chambers to a dedicated science chamber. Here we transfer the atoms to crossed dipole traps, where further evaporative cooling and overlapping of these traps creates a starting point for the exploration of interspecies interactions of different isotopes and pathways towards ground state molecules.
