The first MOT is observed and cold rubidium cloud is characterized.

In a month everything has been assembled, MOT is observed and cold cloud is characterized. Bravo guys!

Ticijana and Damir are moving MOT chamber into our new lab with the specialist help of our mechanic Ivan while keeping the UHV.  Meanwhile, Mateo is sorting through coax cables. June 2019.

MOT chamber is transferred to the office, UHV is stable. PhD students (Danijel, Domagoj and Mateo) and Master student Matej started from scratch. We wish them luck. June 2019.

Prof. Robert Scholten from the University of Melbourne, Australia visited us in new (still empty) lab in May 2019.

Moving the optical tables to the new lab space. May 2019.

Due to the implementation of the CALT project we move the cold lab to a new lab space located in another wing of the institute. It was pretty easy to disassemble everything. May 2019.
