Quantum gases of two-electron atoms in optical lattices offer exciting new possibilities within the field of ultracold atoms. Especially the spin-independent ground state interaction, as well as the long lived metastable 3P0,2 states allow the realization of novel many-body Hamiltonians.
Here, we report on our recent experiments with ultracold Ytterbium quantum gases in a triangular optical lattice. In our 2D-/3D-MOT setup, we prepare quantum degenerate gases of fermionic 173Yb with 1 to 6 spin components. In order to investigate the interaction properties of the metastable 3P0-state, we perform spectroscopy on the narrow 1S0−3P0 clock transition of the ultracold atomic sample. To this end, we load the atoms into a triangular optical lattice at the magic wavelength, where the transition is probed with a stable laser system exhibiting a linewidth of a few Hz.
