Prospects for atomic clocks based on large ion crystals
Prospects for atomic clocks based on large ion crystals
We investigate the feasibility of precision frequency metrology with large ion crystals. For clock candidates with a negative differential static polarizability, we show that micromotion effects should not impede the performance of the clock. Using ${\mathrm{Lu}}^{+}$ as a specific example, we show that quadrupole shifts due to the electric fields …
