Improved interspecies optical clock comparisons through differential spectroscopy

November 28, 2022
Author(s)
May E. Kim, Will McGrew, Nicholas Nardelli, Ethan Clements, Youssef Hassan, Xiaogang Zhang, Jose Valencia, Holly Leopardi, David Hume, Tara Fortier, Andrew Ludlow, David Leibrandt
Comparisons of high-accuracy optical atomic clocks \citeLudlow2015} are essential for precision tests of fundamental physics \citeSafronova2018}, relativistic geodesy \citeMcGrew2018, Grotti2018, Delva2019}, and the anticipated redefinition of the SI

Scalable Quantum Logic Spectroscopy

November 2, 2022
Author(s)
Kaifeng Cui, Jose Valencia, Kevin Boyce, Ethan Clements, David Leibrandt, David Hume
In quantum logic spectroscopy (QLS), one species of trapped ion is used as a sensor to detect the state of an otherwise inaccessible ion species. This extends precision measurements to a broader class of atomic and molecular systems for applications like

Lifetime-Limited Interrogation of Two Independent 27Al+ Clocks using Correlation Spectroscopy

December 9, 2020
Author(s)
Ethan Clements, May E. Kim, Kaifeng Cui, Aaron M. Hankin, Samuel M. Brewer, Jose Valencia, Jwo-Sy Chen, Chin-wen Chou, David Leibrandt, David Hume
Laser decoherence limits the stability of optical clocks by broadening the observable resonance linewidths and adding noise during the dead time between clock probes. Correlation spectroscopy avoids these limitations by measuring correlated atomic
