We present a transportable optical clock (TOC) with $^{87}$Sr. Its complete characterization against a stationary lattice clock resulted in a systematic uncertainty of ${7.4 \times 10^{-17}}$ which is currently limited by the statistics of the determination of the residual lattice light shift. The measurements confirm that the systematic uncertainty is reduceable to below the design goal of $1 \times 10^{-17}$. The instability of our TOC is $1.3 \times 10^{-15}/\sqrt{(τ/s)}$. Both, the systematic uncertainty and the instability are to our best knowledge currently the best achieved with any type of transportable clock. For autonomous operation the TOC is installed in an air-conditioned car-trailer. It is suitable for chronometric leveling with sub-meter resolution as well as intercontinental cross-linking of optical clocks, which is essential for a redefiniton of the SI second. In addition, the TOC will be used for high precision experiments for fundamental science that are commonly tied to precise frequency measurements and it is a first step to space borne optical clocks

High accuracy correction of blackbody radiation shift in an optical lattice clock
我们已经确定了黑体辐射在锶中的$5s^2$ $^1$ S $_0$ -- $5s5p$ $^3$ P $_0$时钟跃迁上引起的频移。以前它的不确定性限制了锶晶格钟的不确定性为$1\times10^{-16}$。现在,与黑体辐射位移校正相关的不确定性转化为室温下的$5\times 10^{-18}$相对频率不确定性。我们的评估是基于两个时钟状态的差分直流极化率的测量和使用此值和其他原子属性的实验数据的动态贡献的建模。
