For decades, ultracold physics focused on alkalis, alkaline earths, and dipolar lanthanides. Our team is the first to extend ultracold science to triel elements, which are atoms in Main Group III of the Periodic Table. Triels are multipurpose atoms with many useful properties only found in isolation in other types of ultracold systems, such as magnetic Feshbach resonances, optical clock transitions, microwave resonances, spinor gas capabilities, anisotropic atom-light interactions, and more. The result is a rich quantum system capable of a high degree of quantum control. We are the first team to cool a triel element (indium) to ultracold temperatures.
