Sub-recoil clock-transition laser cooling enabling shallow optical lattice clocks
X. Zhang, K. Beloy, Y. S. Hassan +5
Laser cooling is a key ingredient for quantum control of atomic systems in a variety of settings. In divalent atoms, two-stage Doppler cooling is typically used to bring atoms to t…
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…
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…
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.…
An Optical Lattice Clock with Accuracy and Stability at the Level
B. J. Bloom, T. L. Nicholson, J. R. Williams +6
The exquisite control exhibited over quantum states of individual particles has revolutionized the field of precision measurement, as exemplified by the most accurate atomic clock…
A quantum many-body spin system in an optical lattice clock
M. J. Martin, M. Bishof, M. D. Swallows +6
Strongly interacting quantum many-body systems are fundamentally compelling and ubiquitous in science. However, their complexity generally prevents exact solutions of their dynamic…
