Deployment of a Transportable Yb Optical Lattice Clock
Tobias Bothwell, Wesley Brand, Robert Fasano +16
We report on the first deployment of a ytterbium (Yb) transportable optical lattice clock (TOLC), commercially shipping the clock 3,000 km from Boulder, Colorado to Washington DC.…
Optimal binary gratings for multi-wavelength magneto-optical traps
Oliver S. Burrow, Robert J. Fasano, Wesley Brand +6
Grating magneto-optical traps are an enabling quantum technology for portable metrological devices with ultracold atoms. However, beam diffraction efficiency and angle are affected…
Characterization and suppression of background light shifts in an optical lattice clock
R. J. Fasano, Y. J. Chen, W. F. McGrew +3
Experiments involving optical traps often require careful control of the ac Stark shifts induced by strong confining light fields. By carefully balancing light shifts between two a…
Optical Atomic Clock Comparison through Turbulent Air
Martha I. Bodine, Jean-Daniel Deschênes, Isaac H. Khader +32
We use frequency comb-based optical two-way time-frequency transfer (O-TWTFT) to measure the optical frequency ratio of state-of-the-art ytterbium and strontium optical atomic cloc…
Frequency Ratio Measurements with 18-digit Accuracy Using a Network of Optical Clocks
Boulder Atomic Clock Optical Network, Collaboration, : +35
Atomic clocks occupy a unique position in measurement science, exhibiting higher accuracy than any other measurement standard and underpinning six out of seven base units in the SI…
Modeling motional energy spectra and lattice light shifts in optical lattice clocks
K. Beloy, W. F. McGrew, X. Zhang +5
We develop a model to describe the motional (i.e., external degree of freedom) energy spectra of atoms trapped in a one-dimensional optical lattice, taking into account both axial…
Measurements of Al and Mg magnetic constants for improved ion clock accuracy
S. M. Brewer, J. -S. Chen, K. Beloy +14
We have measured the quadratic Zeeman coefficient for the optical clock transition in Al, ~MHz/T, an…
Optical-Clock-Based Time Scale
Jian Yao, Jeff A. Sherman, Tara Fortier +14
A time scale is a procedure for accurately and continuously marking the passage of time. It is exemplified by Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), and provides the backbone for critic…
Towards Adoption of an Optical Second: Verifying Optical Clocks at the SI Limit
W. F. McGrew, X. Zhang, H. Leopardi +13
The pursuit of ever more precise measures of time and frequency is likely to lead to the eventual redefinition of the second in terms of an optical atomic transition. To ensure con…
Atomic clock performance beyond the geodetic limit
W. F. McGrew, X. Zhang, R. J. Fasano +9
The passage of time is tracked by counting oscillations of a frequency reference, such as Earth's revolutions or swings of a pendulum. By referencing atomic transitions, frequency…
First observation with global network of optical atomic clocks aimed for a dark matter detection
P. Wcisło, P. Ablewski, K. Beloy +19
We report on the first earth-scale quantum sensor network based on optical atomic clocks aimed at dark matter (DM) detection. Exploiting differences in the susceptibilities to the…
Faraday-shielded, DC Stark-free optical lattice clock
K. Beloy, X. Zhang, W. F. McGrew +7
We demonstrate the absence of a DC Stark shift in an ytterbium optical lattice clock. Stray electric fields are suppressed through the introduction of an in-vacuum Faraday shield.…
Hyperpolarizability and operational magic wavelength in an optical lattice clock
R. C. Brown, N. B. Phillips, K. Beloy +11
Optical clocks benefit from tight atomic confinement enabling extended interrogation times as well as Doppler- and recoil-free operation. However, these benefits come at the cost o…
Ultra-stable optical clock with two cold-atom ensembles
M. Schioppo, R. C. Brown, W. F. McGrew +10
Atomic clocks based on optical transitions are the most stable, and therefore precise, timekeepers available. These clocks operate by alternating intervals of atomic interrogation…
