(Quantum Accelerator) Reducing optical lattice clock SWaP requirements while improving accuracy with precision Rydberg spectroscopy
Abstract
We propose to improve the accuracy and reduce the SWaP (size, weight, and power) requirements of optical lattice clocks by performing precision spectroscopy of Rydberg transitions. We will make use of Rydberg Stark spectroscopy and in-vacuum electrodes to measure and control the electric field environment inside an all-glass UHV cell, reducing the weight and size of future optical lattice clocks. We will also perform precision measurements of strontium clock state-Rydberg manifold transitions in a multiplexed optical lattice clock as an in-situ thermometer to reduce the systematic uncertainty arising from room temperature blackbody radiation (BBR) shifts.
