Narrow-line cooling and the optical dipole trapping of dysprosium

Highly magnetic atoms such as dysprosium offer the ability to create strongly correlated matter in both atomic physics and quantum optics settings. In addition, these atoms will form the key ingredient in novel devices possessing unsurpassed sensitivity and resolution for the microscopy of condensed matter materials. We present results on the narrow-line cooling of Dy to sub-10 $\mu$K temperatures and the subsequent optical dipole trapping of Dy. Progress toward ultracold collisional measurements and evaporative cooling will be discussed.
