Abstract

Making a denser optical lattice clock: Some of today's most advanced clocks are made up of large numbers of atoms lined up in a one-dimensional (1D) optical lattice. The numbers improve clock stability, but atomic interactions can limit accuracy. Campbell et al. loaded their fermionic strontium atoms into a 3D optical lattice. The low temperatures and strong interactions ensured that the atoms avoided one another, resulting in a neat pattern where each lattice site was occupied by exactly one atom. This ordering reduced the influence of interactions on the clock's accuracy, whereas the high density of atoms enabled by the 3D geometry improved the precision. Science , this issue p. 90

  • Three-dimensional optical lattice clocks allow to greatly improve the integration times necessary to attain some specified accuracy for the clock.

    “Some recent techniques such as three-dimensional optical lattice clocks [104] allow to greatly improve the integration times necessary to attain some specified accuracy for the clock.”

    From Chronometric Geodesy: Methods and Applications (2019) · cites this paper as [104]

    The Abstract (p. 1) reports 5 × 10^-19 measurement precision after one hour of averaging, and the Main Text (p. 8) says the system could improve the clock-stability limit by more than an order of magnitude. These support the idea of faster precision measurements, but the paper does not demonstrate a comparative reduction in integration time needed to attain a specified clock accuracy; its larger stability improvement is presented as a possibility.

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.
