Coordinated international comparisons between optical clocks connected via fiber and satellite links

Thomas Lindvall, Marco Pizzocaro, Rachel M. Godun +62

Optical clocks provide ultra-precise frequency references that are vital for international metrology as well as for tests of fundamental physics. To investigate the level of agreem…

Measurement of transition frequencies and hyperfine constants of molecular iodine at 520.2 nm

Akiko Nishiyama, Sho Okubo, Takumi Kobayashi +2

We measured the transition frequencies of the hyperfine components in the four lines (P(34) 39-0, R(36) 39-0, P(33) 39-0, and R(35) 39-0) of the B-X transitions of molecular iodine…

Lattice Light Shift Evaluations In a Dual-Ensemble Yb Optical Lattice Clock

Tobias Bothwell, Benjamin D. Hunt, Jacob L. Siegel +9

In state-of-the-art optical lattice clocks, beyond-electric-dipole polarizability terms lead to a break-down of magic wavelength trapping. In this Letter, we report a novel approac…

Ratchet Loading and Multi-Ensemble Operation in an Optical Lattice Clock

Youssef S. Hassan, Takumi Kobayashi, Tobias Bothwell +6

We demonstrate programmable control over the spatial distribution of ultra-cold atoms confined in an optical lattice. The control is facilitated through a combination of spatial ma…

Generation of a precise time scale assisted by a near-continuously operating optical lattice clock

Takumi Kobayashi, Daisuke Akamatsu, Kazumoto Hosaka +8

We report on a reduced time variation of a time scale with respect to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by steering a hydrogen-maser-based time scale with a near-continuously operat…

Isotope-shift analysis with the transition in ytterbium

Akio Kawasaki, Takumi Kobayashi, Akiko Nishiyama +2

Measurements of isotope shifts have recently been attracting considerable attention due to their potentials in searching for new forces. We report on the isotope shifts of the $4f^…

Observation of the clock transition at 431 nm in Yb

Akio Kawasaki, Takumi Kobayashi, Akiko Nishiyama +2

We report on the observation of the transition at 431 nm in Yb by depleting atoms in a magneto-optical trap formed by the $6s^{2…

Search for ultralight dark matter from long-term frequency comparisons of optical and microwave atomic clocks

Takumi Kobayashi, Akifumi Takamizawa, Daisuke Akamatsu +8

We search for ultralight scalar dark matter candidates that induce oscillations of the fine structure constant, the electron and quark masses, and the quantum chromodynamics energy…
