Exploring - and -decay-induced quenching of the Th nuclear-clock isomer in solid-state hosts
Y. Elskens, M. Athanasakis-Kaklamanakis, S. Arasada Pradeep +52
The radiative decay dynamics of an ensemble of Th nuclei embedded in CaF and MgF is investigated. The isomer is populated through decay of Ac…
Generation of continuous-wave laser light at 148.4 nm using cavity-enhanced second harmonic generation in
Keerthan Subramanian, Hiroki Tanaka, Simon J. Herr +22
We experimentally investigate the potential of crystals to create a continuous-wave (CW) solid state laser at the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) wavelength of 148.4 nm via cavi…
Laser fluence-dependent production of molecular thorium ions in different charge states for trapped-ion experiments
Jonas Stricker, Jean Velten, Valerii Andriushkov +8
Thorium ions and molecules, recognized for their distinctive nuclear and atomic attributes, are central to numerous trapped-ion experiments globally. Our study introduces an effect…
The QTF-Backbone: Proposal for a Nationwide Optical Fibre Backbone in Germany for Quantum Technology and Time and Frequency Metrology
Klaus Blaum, Peter Kaufmann, Jochen Kronjäger +168
The recent breakthroughs in the distribution of quantum information and high-precision time and frequency (T&F) signals over long-haul optical fibre networks have transformative po…
