Accurate frequency measurements of a narrow optical clock transition in 171 Yb atoms trapped in an optical lattice establish this system as a serious contender in the quest to develop increasingly ...

According to the Kyoto-based company, its compact optical lattice timepiece ... wavelength,” the clock confines atoms within a lattice structure like eggs in a carton. The purpose is to suppress ...

Achieving superior optical anisotropy requires identifying functional groups with strong polarizability anisotropy and optimizing their arrangement in the crystal lattice. To address this ...

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, ...

By scattering neutrons off this vortex lattice, we could precisely measure changes in its structure and how it evolves with temperature and magnetic field strength." The measurements collected by ...

What are Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) Centers? Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers are atomic-scale defects in the lattice structure of diamond. They consist of a substitutional nitrogen atom adjacent to a vacant ...
