We observe magnetic Feshbach resonances in a collision between the ground and metastable states of two-electron atoms of ytterbium (Yb). We measure the on-site interaction of doubly occupied sites of an atomic Mott-insulator state in a three-dimen...
We demonstrated high-sensitivity optical spectral imaging of a single layer of a quantum gas of ytterbium atoms in a two-dimensional optical lattice using the ultranarrow S-1(0)-P-3(2) transition. We successfully obtained a set of excitation-frequ...

We developed a dual molasses technique which enabled us to perform high-sensitivity in situ fluorescence imaging of ytterbium (Yb) atoms in a two-dimensional optical lattice prepared in a thin glass cell. This technique successfully combines two d...
