Towards a Mg lattice clock: Observation of the ${}^1{S}_0-$${}^3{P}_0$ transition and determination of the magic wavelength

A. P. Kulosa, D. Fim, K. H. Zipfel +9

We optically excite the electronic state $3s3p{}^3{P}_0$ in ${}^{24}$Mg atoms, laser-cooled and trapped in a magic-wavelength lattice. An applied magnetic field enhances the coupling…
