Studies of the ${}^1$S${}_0$--${}^3$P${}_0$ transition in atomic ytterbium for optical clocks and qubit arrays

Tao Hong, Claire Cramer, Eryn Cook +2

We report an observation of the weak $6^1$S${}_0$-$6^3$P${}_0$ transition in ${}^{171,173}$Yb as an important step to establish Yb as a primary candidate for future optical frequency…
