An optical lattice clock is a type of atomic clock that ... measurement of atomic clock transitions, along with the laser and control system used for trapping and spectroscopy of atoms, was ...

There is a clock called the "optical lattice clock." First, each atom cooled by laser is captured in a 3-D micro space (optical lattice), which is created by interference of laser beams with special ...

By tightly confining ytterbium in the ideal potential of a magic-wavelength optical lattice, the lattice clock pushes the frontiers of atomic timekeeping. We explore enhanced quantum control, ...

What Katori proposed in the optical lattice clock was to measure the transition in energy states among a batch of neutral strontium atoms, laser-cooled and trapped into a lattice formed by laser ...

A feedback loop is also used to stabilize the 578-nm laser frequency to the clock ... suggesting that optical lattice clocks will soon be challenging the performance of the best trapped-ion ...
