Outline of Final Research Achievements

Site-resolved imaging of atoms in an optical lattice provide a fascinating tool for investigating condensed matter physics with ultra-cold atoms. We have successfully developed a new type of optical-lattice-microscope for Yb atoms. The microscope does not require any cooling mechanism and long exposure time to reach sufficient signal-to-noise ratio for the site-resolved imaging. Furthermore, we have also investigated the light-shift on metastable states, towards the realization of spin-projective readout with the microscope.
