Abstract

Ytterbium-171 is a versatile atomic species often used in quantum optics, precision metrology, and quantum computing. Consolidated atomic data is essential for the planning, execution, and evaluation of experiments. In this reference, we present physical and optical properties of neutral 171^{171}Yb relevant to these applications. We emphasize experimental results and supplement these with theoretical estimates. We present equations to convert values and derive important parameters. Tabulated results include key parameters for commonly used transitions in 171^{171}Yb (1S01P1{}^1\mathrm{S}_0\rightarrow{}^1\mathrm{P}_1, 1S03P0,1,2{}^1\mathrm{S}_0\rightarrow{}^3\mathrm{P}_{0,1,2}\,, 3P0,23S1{}^3\mathrm{P}_{0,2}\rightarrow{}^3\mathrm{S}_1, and 3P03D1{}^3\mathrm{P}_0\rightarrow{}^3\mathrm{D}_1). This dataset serves as an up-to-date reference for studies involving fermionic 171^{171}Yb.
