Towards quantum simulation and quantum sensing with strontium and lithium

POSTER

Abstract

In this poster we describe progress towards the construction of two ultracold atomic physics experiments, based on bosonic and fermionic strontium and lithium. Applications of the experiments will include quantum simulation of quasicrystals, the development of novel cooling techniques, and force sensing on small length scales. We discuss hardware design, experimental features, and scientific goals.
