2 Outline Blackbody radiation shifts in atomic clocks: Al +, Yb, Sr Theoretical Method Variation of fundamental constants: an introduction How to search for the variation of the fine-structure constant? Highly-charged ions for clocks and search for α-variation
3 Optical vs. microwave clocks PTB Yb + JILA Sr physics.aps.org
4 Theoretical calculations and atomic clocks Blackbody radiation ( BBR ) shift: Effect due to thermal radiation Motivation: BBR shift gave the largest uncertainty for most accurate clocks Very difficult to measure
5 BLACKBODY RADIATION SHIFTS CLOCK TRANSITION LEVEL B LEVEL A T = 0 K T = 300 K BBR Transition frequency should be corrected to account for the effect of the black body radiation at T=300K.
6 BBR shift and polarizability BBR shift of atomic level can be expressed in terms of a scalar static polarizability to a good approximation [1]: T( K) BBR 0(0)(831.9 V / m) (1+ ) ν = α η Dynamic correction Dynamic correction is generally small. Multipolar corrections (M1 and E2) are suppressed by α 2 [1]. Vector & tensor polarizability average out due to the isotropic nature of field. [1] Sergey Porsev and Andrei Derevianko, Physical Review A 74, R (2006)
7 High-precision atomic calculations Exact wave function Cs: 55 electrons Why is it so difficult? Ψ v = Ω Ψ (0) v Dirac-Hartree-Fock wave function (lowest order) Many-body operator, describes excitations from lowest-order 55-fold excitations to get exact wave function Even for 100 function basis set Approximate methods: perturbation theory does not converge well, need to use all-order methods (for example coupled-cluster method)
8 Electron-electron correlation now separates into two problems Example: Cd-like Nd 12+ Two valence electrons outside of a closed core 1s d 10 5s 2 ground state core 1s 2...4d 10 5s 2 valence electrons Problem 1: core-core and core-valence correlations Problem 2: valence-valence correlations
9 Main idea: solve two problems by different methods Configuration interaction works well for systems with a few valence electrons but can not accurately account for core-valence and core-core correlations. Coupled-cluster method accounts well for core-core and core-valence correlations (as demonstrated by work on alkali-metal atoms). Therefore, two methods are combined to acquire benefits from both approaches.
10 Electron-electron correlation now separates into two problems Cd-like Nd 12+ core 1s 2...4d 10 5s 2 valence electrons Use all-order (coupled-cluster) method to treat core and core-valence correlations core valence Use configuration interaction (CI) method to treat valence correlations
11 Linearized coupled-cluster method Main idea: allow single and double excitations of the initial wave functions to any orbital from finite basis set core excitation S1 S2 valence excitation core excitations core - valence excitations Excitations are described by cluster excitation coefficients ρ ij, ρ ijkl. 5s 6s, 7s,..35s, 5p, 6p, 35p, 5d, 6d, valence excitation
12 Coupled-cluster method Main feature: includes correlations to all orders of perturbation theory Implementation has to be very efficient Both formula derivations and required coding are very extensive
13 Too many terms beyond single and double excitations 1 S Contract operators by Wick s theorem H (0) v i j l k d b S2 Ψ > : a a a a : aman ar as a aca aaav 0 : c > 800 TERMS!
14 Coupled-cluster method Main feature: includes correlations to all orders of perturbation theory Implementation has to be very efficient Both formula derivations and required coding are very extensive Codes that write formulas Codes that write codes Codes that analyse results and estimate uncertainties
15 Monovalent systems: very brief summary of what we calculated with all-order method Properties Energies Transition matrix elements (E1, E2, E3, M1) Static and dynamic polarizabilities & applications Dipole (scalar and tensor) Quadrupole, Octupole Light shifts Black-body radiation shifts Magic wavelengths Hyperfine constants C 3 and C 6 coefficients Systems Li, Na, Mg II, Al III, Si IV, P V, S VI, K, Ca II, In, In-like ions, Ga, Ga-like ions, Rb, Cs, Ba II, Tl, Fr, Th IV, U V, other Fr-like ions, Ra II Parity-nonconserving amplitudes (derived weak charge and anapole moment) EDM enhancement factors Isotope shifts (field shift and one-body part of specific mass shift) Atomic quadrupole moments Nuclear magnetic moment (Fr), from hyperfine data
16 Configuration interaction method Ψ = i c i Φ i Single-electron valence basis states ( H E) Ψ = 0 Example: two particle system: 1 2 H = h ( r ) + h ( r ) + h ( r, r ) one body two body part part r 1 r
17 Configuration interaction + coupled-cluster method (CI+all-order) H is modified using coupled-cluster method to calculate correction Σ H H eff = H + Σ eff = H + Σ Run CI with effective Hamiltonian ( H E) Ψ = 0 Advantages: most complete treatment of the correlations and applicable for many-valence electron systems Note: this effectively accounts for up to dominant quadrupole excitations eff

35 ARE FUNDAMENTAL CONSTANTS CONSTANT??? Being able to compare and reproduce experiments is at the foundation of the scientific approach, which makes sense only if the laws of nature do not depend on time and space. J.-P. Uzan, Rev. Mod. Phys. 75, 403 (2003)
36 The New International System of Units based on Fundamental Constants α = 4 1 πε 0 e 2 ħc
37 The modern theories directed toward unifying gravitation with the three other fundamental interactions suggest variation of the fundamental constants in an expanding universe.
38 Life needs very specific fundamental constants! α ħ ~1/137 If α is too big small nuclei can not exist Electric repulsion of the protons > strong nuclear binding force α~1/137 α~1/10 will blow carbon apart
39 Life needs very specific fundamental constants! α ħ ~1/137 α~ / Nuclear reaction in stars are particularly sensitive to α. If α were different by 4%: no carbon produced by stars. No life.
40 Life needs very specific fundamental constants! α ħ ~1/137 α No carbon produced by stars: No life in the Universe

46 ν Laboratory searches for α variation Different optical atomic clocks use transitions that have different contributions of the relativistic corrections to frequencies. ( x) ν = + q x ( ) 2 0 x = α α 1 0 Therefore, comparison of different clocks can be used to search for α variation. Optical only clock test only α-variation Example: Al + / Hg + atomic clocks α α = 1.6(2.3) 10 y 17 1 Rosenband et al., Science 319, 1808 (2008)

52 This work: Exhaustive search of transitions in highly-charged ions that are particularly well suited for the current experimental explorations. Our criteria: (1) Metastable states with transition frequencies to the ground state ranging between nm. (2) High sensitivity to α-variation. (3) Stable isotopes. (4) Relatively simple electronic structure: one to four valence electrons above the closed core.
53 Only ions in 4 isoelectronic sequnces satisfy the criteria: Ag-like, Cd-like In-like, Sn-like ions

59 Summary Selected highly-charged ions have several metastable states representing a level structure and other properties that are not present in any neutral and low-ionization state ions and may be advantageous for the development of atomic clocks as well as provide new possibilities for quantum information storage and processing. Estimated fractional accuracy of the transition frequency in the clocks based on highly-charged ions can be smaller than Estimated sensitivity to the α-variation for transitions in highly-charged ions approaches per year [1, 2].
