Fine-structure qubit encoded in metastable strontium trapped in an optical lattice

S Pucher, V Klüsener, F Spriestersbach, J Geiger… - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We demonstrate coherent control of the fine-structure qubit in neutral strontium atoms. This
qubit is encoded in the metastable P 2 3 and P 0 3 states, coupled by a Raman transition …

Double, triple, and quadruple magic wavelengths for cesium ground, excited, and Rydberg states

A Bhowmik, M Gaudesius, G Biedermann, D Blume - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
Dynamic polarizabilities of cesium Rydberg states, explicitly n S 1/2, n P 1/2, n P 3/2, n D 3/2,
and n D 5/2, where the principal quantum number n is 40–70, are presented for linearly …

Differential polarizability of the strontium intercombination transition at 1064.7 nm

R Journet, F Faisant, S Lee, M Cheneau - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
We measure the scalar, vector, and tensor components of the differential dynamic
polarizability of the strontium intercombination transition at 1064.7 nm. We compare the …

Realization of a fast triple-magic all-optical qutrit in strontium-88

M Ammenwerth, H Timme, F Gyger, R Tao… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
The optical clock states of alkaline earth and alkaline earth-like atoms are the fundament of
state-of-the-art optical atomic clocks. An important prerequisite for the operation of optical …
