An Optimized Ion Trap Geometry to Measure Quadrupole Shifts of ${}^{171}$Yb${}^{+}$ Clocks

N. Batra, B. K. Sahoo, S. De

We propose a new ion-trap geometry to carry out accurate measurements of the quadrupole shifts in the ${}^{171}$Yb-ion. This trap will produce nearly ideal harmonic potential where t…
