Abstract

With 87 Sr atoms confined in a one-dimensional optical lattice, the frequency of the optical clock transition 5s 2 1 S 0 –5s5p 3 P 0 has been determined to be 429 228 004 229 872.9(5) Hz. The transition frequency was measured with the help of a femtosecond-frequency comb against one of Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB's) H-masers whose frequency was measured simultaneously by the PTB Cs-fountain clock CSF1. The Sr optical frequency standard contributes with a fractional uncertainty of 1.5 × 10 −16 to the total uncertainty. The agreement of the measured transition frequency with previous measurements at other institutes supports the status of this transition as the secondary representation of the second with the currently smallest uncertainty.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • With a lifetime of the excited clock state of about 120 s and the light shift coefficient of about -13 Hz cm^2 W^-1, the clock laser induced light shift is estimated to be negligible, of few 10^-19.

    “With a lifetime of the excited clock state of about 120 s [44-46] and the light shift coefficient of about -13 Hzcm 2 W -1 [47], we estimate a negligible clock laser induced light shift of few 10 -19 .”

    From Long-distance chronometric leveling with a portable optical clock (2024) · cites this paper as [46]

    The citation is attached to the light-shift coefficient, not the lifetime or the citing authors’ estimate. Section 3.1 (page unavailable) gives the clock-laser coefficient as +13(2) Hz (W cm⁻²)⁻¹, whereas the citing sentence gives −13; the magnitudes agree, but the signs are opposite. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Checked by a reasoning model — may be wrong.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
