Cooling and Thermometry for Fermionic Atoms in an Optical Lattice

ORAL

Abstract

We propose a set of novel experimental tools to cool and measure the temperature of fermionic atoms loaded into an optical lattice. The proposed cooling method is based on spatial entropy modulation while the temperature detection scheme relies on Raman spectroscopy.
