Atomic clocks Microwave Transitions Optical Transitions
4
atomic clocks black-body radiation ( BBR ) shift Motivation: BBR shift gives large contribution into uncertainty budget for some of the atomic clock schemes. Accurate calculations are needed to achieve ultimate precision goals.
5
Frequency standard Transition frequency should be corrected to account for the effect of the black body radiation at T=300K. T = 0 K Clock transition Level A Level B
6
Frequency standard Transition frequency should be corrected to account for the effect of the black body radiation at T=300K. T = 300 K Clock transition Level A Level B BBR
7
The temperature-dependent electric field created by the blackbody radiation is described by (in a.u.) : BBR shift of a level Dynamic polarizability Frequency shift caused by this electric field is:
8
BBR shift and polarizability BBR shift of atomic level can be expressed in terms of a scalar static polarizability to a good approximation [1]: [1] Sergey Porsev and Andrei Derevianko, Physical Review A 74, 020502R (2006) Dynamic correction is generally small. Multipolar corrections (M1 and E2) are suppressed by 2 [1]. Vector & tensor polarizability average out due to the isotropic nature of field. Dynamic correction
9
Effect on the frequency of clock transition is calculated as the difference between the BBR shifts of individual states. Example for optical transitions: Ca + BBR shift for a transition 4s 1/2 3d 5/2 729 nm
10
BBR shifts for microwave transitions Example: Cs primary frequency standard In lowest (second) order the polarizabilities of ground hyperfine 6s 1/2 F=4 and F=3 states are the same. Therefore, the third-order F-dependent polarizability F (0) has to be calculated. Present estimated theory error in the BBR shift (0.35%) [1] implies 6x10 -17 fractional uncertainty in the clock frequency. The theoretical value of the BBR shift [1,2] is consistent with 0.2% measurement [3]. [1] K. Beloy, U. I. Safronova, and A. Derevianko, Phys. Rev.Lett. 97, 040801 (2006) [2] E. J. Angstmann, V. A. Dzuba, and V.V. Flambaum, Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 040802 (2006). [3] E. Simon, P. Laurent, and A. Clairon, Phys. Rev. A 57, 436 (1998).

We calculate the excitation coefficients iteratively until valence energy converges. Each iteration picks up another order of many-body perturbation theory many-body perturbation theory (MBPT) terms. Therefore, this method includes dominant correlation contributions to all orders of MBPT.

46
Configuration interaction method ( CI ) Single-electron valence basis states Example: two particle system:
47
Configuration interaction + many-body perturbation theory CI works for systems with many valence electrons but can not accurately account for core-valence and core-core correlations. MBPT can not accurately describe valence-valence correlation for large systems but accounts well for core-core and core-valence correlations. Therefore, two methods are combined to acquire benefits from both approaches.
