Ytterbium atoms attract much attention from fundamental research such as parity and time-reversal symmetry violation to the application such as optical frequency standard. We have studied experimentally quantum degenerate gases such as Bose-Einstein Condensation (BEC) and Fermi Degeneracy of dilute atomic gases of Ytterbium atoms.So far, we achieved stable formation of 174Yb BEC by optimizing high-density optical trapping and evaporative cooling. The number of atoms in BEC is increased by a factor of 10 to 50,000.We also obtained high phase space density more than 1 for 176Yb by sympathetic cooling.In addition, we realized Fermi Degeneracy of Yb fermionic isotopes (^<171>Yb,^<173>Yb). To overcome the suppression of elastic collision between identical fermions, we successfully applied sympathetic cooling with bosonic isotopes 174Yb in the case of 171Yb cooling and the evaporative cooling for the 6 spin mixtures in the case of 173Yb, which resulted in the cooling below Fermi temperature.In addition, we successfully performed high-resolution photoassociation spectroscopy using intercombination line, and obtained important information about scattering length of 174Yb.

镱原子从宇称、时间反演对称性破坏等基础研究到光频率标准等应用备受关注。我们通过实验研究了镱原子稀原子气体的玻色-爱因斯坦凝聚（BEC）和费米简并气体等量子简并气体。到目前为止，我们通过优化高密度光捕获和蒸发冷却实现了174Yb BEC的稳定形成。 BEC中的原子数增加了10倍至50,000。我们还通过交感冷却获得了176Yb大于1的高相空间密度。此外，我们实现了Yb费米子同位素（^<171>Yb，^<173>Yb）的费米简并性。为了克服相同费米子之间弹性碰撞的抑制，我们成功地在 171Yb 冷却的情况下应用了玻色同位素 174Yb 的交感冷却，以及在 173Yb 的情况下对 6 种自旋混合物的蒸发冷却，导致冷却到费米温度以下。此外，我们成功地利用互结合线进行了高分辨率光缔合光谱，并获得了重要的结果。 有关 174Yb 散射长度的信息。
