Characterization of rf field-induced a.c. Zeeman shift in multi-level highly charged ions

Shuying Chen, Lukas J. Spieß, Alexander Wilzewski +3

Characterization of the trap rf induced a.c. Zeeman shift is essential for achieving high accuracy in optical ion clocks. In this work, we demonstrate the experimental characteriza…

Coulomb crystallization of xenon highly charged ions in a laser-cooled Ca+ matrix

Leonid Prokhorov, Aaron A. Smith, Mingyao Xu +17

We report on the sympathetic cooling and Coulomb crystallization of xenon highly charged ions (HCIs) with laser-cooled Ca ions. The HCIs are produced in a compact electron beam…

Finding the ultra-narrow electric quadrupole transition in Ni ion for an optical clock

Charles Cheung, Sergey G. Porsev, Dmytro Filin +7

The Ni ion features an electronic transition with a natural width of only 8 mHz, allowing for a highly stable optical clock. We predict that the energy of this strongly for…

Nonlinear calcium King plot constrains new bosons and nuclear properties

A. Wilzewski, L. I. Huber, M. Door +39

Nonlinearities in King plots (KP) of isotope shifts (IS) can reveal the existence of beyond-Standard-Model (BSM) interactions that couple electrons and neutrons. However, it is cru…

Identification of highly-forbidden optical transitions in highly charged ions

Shuying Chen, Lukas J. Spieß, Alexander Wilzewski +6

Optical clocks represent the most precise experimental devices, finding application in fields spanning from frequency metrology to fundamental physics. Recently, the first highly c…

Coherent photo-thermal noise cancellation in a dual-wavelength optical cavity for narrow-linewidth laser frequency stabilisation

Fabian Dawel, Alexander Wilzewski, Sofia Herbers +7

Optical resonators are used for the realisation of ultra-stable frequency lasers. The use of high reflectivity multi-band coatings allows the frequency locking of several lasers of…

An Optical Atomic Clock Based on a Highly Charged Ion

Steven A. King, Lukas J. Spieß, Peter Micke +9

Optical atomic clocks are the most accurate measurement devices ever constructed and have found many applications in fundamental science and technology. The use of highly charged i…

Algorithmic Ground-state Cooling of Weakly-Coupled Oscillators using Quantum Logic

Steven A. King, Lukas J. Spieß, Peter Micke +4

Most ions lack the fast, cycling transitions that are necessary for direct laser cooling. In most cases, they can still be cooled sympathetically through their Coulomb interaction…
