We present the new absolute frequency measurement of ytterbium (171Yb) obtained at INRiM with the optical lattice clock IT-Yb1 against the cryogenic caesium (133Cs) fountain IT-CsF2, evaluated through a measurement campaign that lasted 14…

A sharp resonance line that appears in three-photon transitions between the $^{1}S_{0}$ and $^{3}P_{0}$ states of alkaline earth and Yb atoms is proposed as an optical frequency standard. This proposal permits the use of the even isotopes,…

We consider the potential use of optical traps for precision measurements in atomic hydrogen (H). Using an implicit summation method, we calculate the atomic polarisability, the rates of elastic/inelastic scattering and the ionisation rate…

We study the prospects of using transitions from the ytterbium ground state to metastable states $^3{\rm P}^{\rm o}_2$ at $E=19\,710.388~$cm$^{-1}$ and $4f^{13}5d6s^2\,(J=2)$ at $E=23\,188.518~$cm$^{-1}$ as clock transitions in an optical…

Despite being a canonical example of quantum mechanical perturbation theory, as well as one of the earliest observed spectroscopic shifts, the Stark effect contributes the largest source of uncertainty in a modern optical atomic clock…

We report on the isotope shift between ${}^{88}$Sr and ${}^{87}$Sr on the ${}^1S_0 - {}^3P_0$ clock transitions. The interleaved operation of an optical lattice clock with two isotopes allows the canceling out of common perturbations, such…

We find a simple solution to the problem of probe laser light shifts in two-photon optical atomic clocks. We show that there exists a magic polarization at which the light shifts of the two atomic states involved in the clock transition are…

We present an assessment of the (6s^{2})1S0 -> (6s7s)3P0 clock transition frequency in 199Hg with an uncertainty reduction of nearly three orders of magnitude and demonstrate an atomic quality factor, Q, of ~10^(14). The 199Hg atoms are…

Singly-ionized ytterbium, with ultra-narrow optical clock transitions at 467 nm and 436 nm, is a convenient system for the realization of optical atomic clocks and tests of present-day variation of fundamental constants. We present the…

We present measurements of three distinctive state-(in)dependent wavelengths for the $^1\text{S}_{0}-^3\text{P}_{0}$ clock transition in $^{174}\text{Yb}$ atoms. Specifically, we determine two magic wavelengths at $652.281(21)\,$THz and…

We develop a method of spectroscopy that uses a weak static magnetic field to enable direct optical excitation of forbidden electric-dipole transitions that are otherwise prohibitively weak. The power of this scheme is demonstrated using…

An inner-shell orbital clock transition $^1S_0 \leftrightarrow 4f^{13}5d6s^2 \: (J=2)$ in neutral ytterbium atoms has attracted much attention as a new optical frequency standard as well as a highly sensitive probe for several new physics…

We present a new evaluation of an 87Sr optical lattice clock using spin polarized atoms. The frequency of the 1S0-3P0 clock transition is found to be 429 228 004 229 873.6 Hz with a fractional accuracy of 2.6 10^{-15}, a value that is…

The superb precision of an atomic clock is derived from its stability. Atomic clocks based on optical (rather than microwave) frequencies are attractive because of their potential for high stability, which scales with operational frequency.…

The interaction between light and an atom causes perturbations in the atom's energy levels, known as the light-shift. These light-shifts are a key source of inaccuracy in atomic clocks, and can also deteriorate their precision. We present a…

To operate an optical lattice clock at a fractional uncertainty below $10^{-17}$, one must typically consider not only electric-dipole (E1) interaction between an atom and the lattice light field when characterizing the resulting lattice…

Optical lattice clocks with uncertainty and instability in the $10^{-17}$-range and below have so far been demonstrated exclusively using fermions. Here, we demonstrate a bosonic optical lattice clock with $3\times 10^{-18}$ instability and…

A microwave atomic clock scheme based on Rb and Cs atoms trapped in optical lattice with magic wavelength for clock transition is proposed. The ac Stark shift of clock transition due to trapping laser can be canceled at some specific laser…

The energy levels and electric dipole ($E1$) matrix elements of the ground state and low-lying excited states of Be atoms are calculated using the relativistic configuration interaction plus core polarization (RCICP) method. The static and…

The static and dynamic electric-dipole polarizabilities of the $6s^2\,^1S_0$ and $6s6p\,^3P_1^o$ states of Yb are calculated by using the relativistic ab initio method. Focusing on the red detuning region to the $6s^2\,^1S_0-6s6p\,^3P_1^o$…
