چکیده

We analyze doubly magic trapping of Cs hyperfine transitions including previously neglected contributions from the ground state hyperpolarizability and the interaction of the laser light and a static magnetic field. Extensive numerical searches do not reveal any doubly magic trapping conditions for any pair of hyperfine states. However, including the hyperpolarizability reveals light intensity insensitive traps for a wide range of wavelengths at specific intensities. We then investigate the use of bichromatic trapping light fields. Deploying a bichromatic scheme, we demonstrate doubly magic red and blue detuned traps for pairs of states separated by one or two single photon transitions.

ac Stark shift of the Cs microwave atomic clock transitions

The present definition of the unit of time, the second, is based on the frequency of the microwave transition between two hyperfine levels of the Cs atom. Recently, it has been realized that the accuracy and stability of atomic clocks can be substantially improved by trapping atoms in optical lattices operated at a certain “magic” wavelength 1,2 . At this magic wavelength, both clock levels exp...

Theory of magic optical traps for Zeeman-insensitive clock transitions in alkali-metal atoms

Precision measurements and quantum-information processing with cold atoms may benefit from trapping atoms with specially engineered, “magic” optical fields. At the magic trapping conditions, the relevant atomic properties remain immune to strong perturbations by the trapping fields. Here we develop a theoretical analysis of magic trapping for especially valuable Zeeman-insensitive clock transit...

"Doubly magic" conditions in magic-wavelength trapping of ultracold alkali-metal atoms.

In experiments with trapped atoms, atomic energy levels are shifted by the trapping optical and magnetic fields. Regardless of this strong perturbation, precision spectroscopy may be still carried out using specially crafted, "magic" trapping fields. Finding these conditions for particularly valuable microwave transitions in alkali-metal atoms has so far remained an open challenge. Here I demon...

Micromagic clock: microwave clock based on atoms in an engineered optical lattice.

We propose a new class of atomic microwave clocks based on the hyperfine transitions in the ground state of aluminum or gallium atoms trapped in optical lattices. For such elements magic wavelengths exist at which both levels of the hyperfine doublet are shifted at the same rate by the lattice laser field, cancelling its effect on the clock transition. A similar mechanism for the magic waveleng...

Two-dimensional lattice of blue-detuned atom traps using a projected Gaussian beam array

We describe a blue-detuned optical lattice for atom trapping which is intrinsically two-dimensional, while providing three-dimensional atom localization. The lattice is insensitive to optical phase fluctuations since it does not depend on field interference between distinct optical beams. The array is created using an arrangement of weakly overlapping Gaussian beams that creates a two-dimension...
