Recently, the thulium atom was cooled down to the Bose-Einstein condensation temperature, thus opening a pathway to quantum simulation with this atom. However, successful simulations require instruments to control and read out states of the atom as well as the ability to control the interaction between either different species or different states of the same type of species. In this paper, we provide an experimental demonstration of high-fidelity (over 93%) manipulation of the ground-state magnetic levels of thulium, which utilizes a simple and efficient design of a microwave (MW) antenna. The coherence time and dephasing rate of the energetically highest hyperfine level of the ground state were also examined.
