Here we realize efficient cooling of ten thousand ultracold bosons in staggered optical lattices. By immersing Mott-insulator samples into removable superfluid reservoirs, thermal entropy is extracted from the system. Losing less than half of the atoms, we lower the entropy of a Mott insulator by 65-fold, achieving a record-low entropy per particle of 0.0019 kB (kB is the Boltzmann constant). We further engineer the sample to a defect-free array of isolated single atoms and successfully transfer it into a coherent many-body state. The present staggered-immersion cooling opens up an avenue for exploring novel quantum matters and promises practical applications in quantum information science.
