"Ultracold atoms at IQOQI:6Li40K Fermi-Fermi mixtures & Bose-Einstein  
condensation of strontium"



Abstract



In this talk I will present two experiments, one exploring 6Li40K  
Fermi-Fermi mixtures and the other quantum degenerate gases of  
strontium.

The first experiment has the goal to create a new class of strongly  
interacting many-body quantum systems.  To reach this goal, we have  
identified the Feshbach resonances of the 6Li40K mixture and used  
those resonances to create heteronuclear molecules.  First  
experimental steps exploring the strongly interacting regime are  
reported.

The second experiment recently created the first Bose-Einstein  
condensates of strontium. Our approach to reach this long sought goal  
is presented and first steps towards fermionic degeneracy of 87Sr are  
reported.
