A nuclear clock based on Th
Beichen Huang, Gaowei Yan, Qi Xiao +35
Atomic clocks have made time and frequency the most precisely measured quantities in physics, progressing from microwave standards that realize the SI second to optical clocks that…
Direct Nuclear-Level Qubits using Trapped Th-229 Ions: A Platform for Entanglement and Universal Quantum Information Processing
Jingbo Wang, Haixing Miao, Shiqian Ding +1
The low-energy isomeric transition in Thorium-229 offers a unique interface between nuclear and atomic physics, presenting a resource for quantum technologies that is notably resil…
Theoretical study of transition matrix elements in cadmium for vacuum-ultraviolet generation in Th nuclear clock applications
Gleb Penyazkov, Yanmei Yu, Leonid V. Skripnikov +1
The relativistic Fock-space coupled-cluster methods are applied to the cadmium atom. A large number of transition energies and matrix elements are calculated for the $ ^{…
A cryogenic Paul trap for probing the nuclear isomeric excited state Th
Daniel Moritz, Kevin Scharl, Markus Wiesinger +16
While laser excitation of the nuclear isomeric transition in Th has been recently achieved for thorium atoms embedded in large-bandgap crystals, laser excitation and charac…
A continuous-wave vacuum ultraviolet laser for the nuclear clock
Qi Xiao, Gleb Penyazkov, Xiangliang Li +14
The exceptionally low-energy isomeric transition in Th at around 148.4 nm offers a unique opportunity for coherent nuclear control and the realisation of a nuclear clock. R…
