An optical clock based on a single trapped 199Hg+ ion.
Microwave atomic clocks have been the de facto standards for precision time and frequency metrology over the past 50 years, finding widespread use in basic scientific studies, communications, and navigation. However, with its higher operating frequency, an atomic clock based on an optical transition can be much more stable. We demonstrate an all-optical atomic clock referenced to the 1.064-peta...
متن کاملSpin waves and collisional frequency shifts of a trapped-atom clock.
We excite spin waves with spatially inhomogeneous Ramsey pulses and study the resulting frequency shifts of a chip-scale atomic clock of trapped 87Rb. The density-dependent frequency shifts of the hyperfine transition simulate the s-wave collisional frequency shifts of fermions, including those of optical lattice clocks. As the spin polarizations oscillate in the trap, the frequency shift rever...
متن کاملEntanglement of trapped-ion clock states
A Mølmer-Sørensen entangling gate is realized for pairs of trapped Cd ions using magnetic-field insensitive “clock” states and an implementation offering reduced sensitivity to optical phase drifts. The gate is used to generate the complete set of four entangled states, which are reconstructed and evaluated with quantum-state tomography. An average target-state fidelity of 0.79 is achieved, lim...
متن کاملDecoherence and collisional frequency shifts of trapped bosons and fermions.
We perform exact calculations of collisional frequency shifts for several fermions or bosons using a singlet and triplet basis for pairs of particles. The "factor of 2 controversy" for bosons becomes clear-the factor is always 2. Decoherence is described by singlet states and they are unaffected by spatially uniform clock fields. Spatial variations are critical, especially for fermions which we...
متن کاملThe Mercury-ion Optical Clock: towards a Measurement of the Quadrupole Shift
An optical clock based upon a single mercury ion in a radiofrequency trap has the potential for both high stability and high accuracy. The systematic uncertainty of this frequency standard is limited by contributions due to two types of external fields. The clock has previously been operated with a magnetic bias field that destabilizes dark states that limit the rates of laser cooling and state...
