Lattice Light Shift Evaluations In a Dual-Ensemble Yb Optical Lattice Clock

January 22, 2025
Author(s)

In state-of-the-art optical lattice clocks, beyond-electric-dipole polarizability terms lead to a break-down of magic wavelength trapping. In this Letter, we report a novel approach to evaluate lattice light shifts, specifically addressing recent

Ratchet Loading and Multi-Ensemble Operation in an Optical Lattice Clock

Youssef Hassan, Takumi Kobayashi, Tobias Bothwell, Jacob Siegel, Benjamin Hunt, Kyle Beloy, Kurt Gibble, Tanner Grogan, Andrew Ludlow
We demonstrate programmable control over the spatial distribution of ultra-cold atoms confined in an optical lattice. The control is facilitated through a combination of spatial manipulation of the magneto-optical trap and atomic population shelving to a

Clock-line-mediated Sisyphus Cooling

Jacob Siegel, Benjamin Hunt, Tanner Grogan, Youssef Hassan, Kyle Beloy, Roger Brown, Andrew Ludlow, Chun-Chia Chen, Kurt Gibble
We demonstrate sub-recoil Sisyphus cooling using the long-lived 3P0 clock state in alkaline-earthlike ytterbium. A 1388 -nm optical standing wave nearly resonant with the 3P0→3D1 transition creates a spatially periodic light shift of the 3P0 clock state

Excited-Band Coherent Delocalization for Improved Optical Lattice Clock Performance

March 24, 2024
Author(s)
Jacob Siegel, Andrew Ludlow, Youssef Hassan, Kyle Beloy, Tanner Grogan, Chun-Chia Chen
We implement coherent delocalization as a tool for improving the two primary metrics of atomic clock performance: systematic uncertainty and instability. By decreasing atomic density with co- herent delocalization, we suppress cold-collision shifts and two

Sub-recoil clock-transition laser cooling enabling shallow optical lattice clocks

September 8, 2022

Xiaogang Zhang, Kyle Beloy, Youssef Hassan, William McGrew, Chun-Chia Chen, Jacob Siegel, Tanner Grogan, Andrew Ludlow
Laser cooling is a key ingredient for quantum control of atomic systems in a variety of settings. In two-valence-electron atoms, two-stage Doppler cooling is typically used to bring atoms to the μK regime. Here, we implement a pulsed radial cooling scheme
