New directions in the development of atomic clocks 24-000008097
Abstract
The theoretical atomic clock research has been indispensable for the extraordinary improvement in atomic clocks of the past decade.Extensive theoretical work was required for the experimental development of current clocks, including predictions of magic wavelength of lattice clocks, study and suppression of collisional effects, calculations of the blackbody radiation shifts (BBR) and other systematic effects. The main goals of this research are to (1) solve critical outstanding problems in current clocks to reduced uncertainties by an order of magnitude to the 1x10-19 level, especially those being developed for operation outside of a laboratory environment, (2) spearhead the development of new clocks schemes in which systematic effects are naturally suppressed, leading to either simplified clock set up, next generation of accuracy, or both, and (3) continue progress on development of high-stability ions clocks with Coulomb crystals.
