Breathing and higher-order excitations of solitons
We studied the excitation modes of bright matter-wave solitons, with the goal to observe breathing, higher-order excitations and splitting. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 123602 (2019)].

Measurement of micro-g acceleration
We managed to measure micro-g accelerations in an earth-bound experiment with freely expanding BECs [New J. Phys. 21, 053028 (2019)].

Experimental setup
Our setup is designed to cool a gas of cesium atoms from room temperature to quantum degeneracy. We reach Bose-Einstein-condensates of 300,000 atoms in 12s.
