Ultra-cold dipolar quantum gases enable the study of many-body physics with long-range, inhomogeneous interaction effects due to the anisotropic character of the dipole-dipole interaction. These systems are expected to show novel exotic quantum phases and phase transitions which can be studied with dysprosium atoms. Dysprosium is a rare-earth element with one of the largest ground-state magnetic moments (10 Bohr magnetons) in the periodic table. Therefore, the dipole-dipole interaction is not a small perturbation but becomes comparable in strength to the s-wave scattering. This influences significantly the physical properties of the trapped atomic sample, such as its shape and stability. This poster presents the current status of our experimental setup to generate dysprosium quantum gases. We present our results in laser cooling of dysprosium atoms and give an overview of our laser system and vacuum design.
