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

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 a recently observed magic trapping …
