Transportable Optical Lattice Clock with Uncertainty

SB Koller, J Grotti, S Vogt, A Al-Masoudi, S Dörscher… - Physical review …, 2017 - APS
We present a transportable optical clock (TOC) with Sr 87. Its complete characterization
against a stationary lattice clock resulted in a systematic uncertainty of 7.4× 10-17, which is …

Precision Measurement of the Hydrogen Frequency via a 920-km Fiber Link

A Matveev, CG Parthey, K Predehl, J Alnis, A Beyer… - Physical Review Letters, 2013 - APS
We have measured the frequency of the extremely narrow 1 S-2 S two-photon transition in
atomic hydrogen using a remote cesium fountain clock with the help of a 920 km stabilized …

Improved Tests of Local Position Invariance Using and Fountains

J Guéna, M Abgrall, D Rovera, P Rosenbusch… - Physical Review Letters, 2012 - APS
We report tests of local position invariance based on measurements of the ratio of the
ground state hyperfine frequencies of Cs 133 and Rb 87 in laser-cooled atomic fountain …

Experimental passive round-robin differential phase-shift quantum key distribution

JY Guan, Z Cao, Y Liu, GL Shen-Tu, JS Pelc, MM Fejer… - Physical review …, 2015 - APS
In quantum key distribution (QKD), the bit error rate is used to estimate the information
leakage and hence determines the amount of privacy amplification—making the final key …

Unconditional security of time-energy entanglement quantum key distribution using dual-basis interferometry

Z Zhang, J Mower, D Englund, FNC Wong, JH Shapiro - Physical review letters, 2014 - APS
High-dimensional quantum key distribution (HDQKD) offers the possibility of high secure-
key rate with high photon-information efficiency. We consider HDQKD based on the time …

Quantum electrodynamic corrections to cyclotron states in a Penning trap

UD Jentschura, C Moore - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We analyze the leading and higher-order quantum electrodynamic corrections to the energy
levels for a single electron bound in a Penning trap, including the Bethe logarithm correction …

Gravitational effects in -factor measurements and high-precision spectroscopy: Limits of Einstein's equivalence principle

UD Jentschura - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
We study the interplay of general relativity, the equivalence principle, and high-precision
experiments involving atomic transitions and g-factor measurements. In particular, we derive …
