摘要:

我们演示了如何实现一个光学时钟与中性原子,是目前最好的单离子光学时钟的准确性和优越的稳定性竞争。利用超冷原子的钙光频标,我们展示了如何减少相对不确定度低于1 E-15。我们观察到原子干涉,使激光稳定到时钟跃迁,可见度为0.36,这是原子静止时可达到的极限的70%。一种新的方案被应用到检测这些原子的干扰,以达到在1秒内4 E-17的异常低的不稳定性的量子投影噪声极限的前景。

英文摘要:

We demonstrate how to realize an optical clock with neutral atoms that is competitive to the currently best single ion optical clocks in accuracy and superior in stability. Using ultracold atoms in a Ca optical frequency standard we show how to reduce the relative uncertainty to below 1E-15. We observed atom interferences for stabilization of the laser to the clock transition with a visibility of 0.36, which is 70 % of the ultimate limit achievable with atoms at rest. A novel scheme was applied to detect these atom interferences with the prospect to reach the quantum projection noise limit at an exceptional low instability of 4E-17 in 1 s.
