Abstract: A magneto-optical trap apparatus includes a vacuum vessel for encapsulating an atom to be trapped, an anti-Helmholtz coil for applying a magnetic field to an inside of the vacuum vessel, a laser device for generating a laser beam, and an irradiation device for irradiating the generated laser beam from a plurality of directions. The laser beam includes a first laser beam detuned from a first resonance frequency when the atom transits from a total angular momentum quantum number F in a ground state to a total angular momentum quantum number F′=F+1 in an excited state, and a second laser beam detuned from a second resonance frequency when the atom transits from the total angular momentum quantum number F in the ground state to a total angular momentum quantum number F′=F−1 in the excited state, among transitions from J=0 in a ground state to J′=1 in an excited state.

Abstract: A high-temperature tank includes an optical window which transmits a laser and is provided at one end, and a right-angle conical mirror which is provided at the other end, has an opening at the apex, and which reflects laser light incident from the optical window towards the one end in an area other than opening. A magnetic field generator generates a magnetic field in the region of intersection of the laser reflected by the right-angle conical mirror. A magnetic field gradient attenuation module locally attenuates the gradient of the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field generator.

Abstract: Provided according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is a radiation shield 10 including a shield wall surrounding a hollow region capable of accommodating therein atoms for an optical lattice clock 100, the shield wall having, provided therein, at least two apertures communicating with outside. A geometrical shape of an inner wall surface of the shield wall is configured such that a difference between BBR shifts found under two conditions does not exceed a predetermined value over a range of position of atoms, the BBR shifts being caused in atoms 2 by emitted radiation emitted by the inner wall surface, incoming radiation leaking in from the outside through the apertures, and a reflection component of the emitted radiation and incoming radiation at the inner wall surface, the two conditions being a condition where the inner wall surface exhibits mirror reflection and a condition where the inner wall surface exhibits diffuse reflection, the range being where clock transition operation is carried out in the optical lattice clock, the inner wall surface facing the hollow region. Provided according to other embodiments of the present disclosure also are the optical lattice clock 100 including such a radiation shield, and a design method for the radiation shield.

Abstract: A tri-axial magnetic field correction coil includes a first coil group and a second coil group with respect to an X-axis direction that passes through a clock transition space in which atoms are disposed. The first coil group is a Helmholtz-type coil composed in a point-symmetrical shape around the clock transition space. The second coil group is composed in a point-symmetrical shape around the clock transition space with respect to the X-axis direction, and is a non-Helmholtz-type coil that differs from the first coil group in terms of coil size, coil shape, or distance between coils.

Abstract: There is a need to maintain or enhance the magnetic field correction accuracy of a physics package while making the physics package more compact and portable. A triaxial magnetic field correction coil is provided inside a vacuum chamber surrounding a clock transition space having atoms disposed therein. The triaxial magnetic field correction coil is formed into a shape such that it is possible to correct, for magnetic field components of three axial directions passing through the clock transition space, a constant term, a first order spatial derivative term, a second order spatial derivative term, a third or higher order spatial derivative term, or some given combination of these terms. The triaxial magnetic field correction coil can be used in, for example, a physics package for an optical lattice clock.

Abstract: Various embodiments improve accuracy by increasing the number of atoms engaged in a clock transitions in an optical lattice clock. An exemplary optical lattice clock an embodiment comprises an optical waveguide, an optical path, a laser light source, and a laser cooler. The optical path has a hollow pathway that extends from a first end to a second end while being surrounded with a tubular wall, which is used as a waveguide path. The optical path passes between mirrors and through the pathway. The laser light source supplies to the optical path a pair of lattice lasers (L1 and L2) propagating in opposite directions with each other. The laser cooler supplies cooled atoms that have two levels of electronic states associated with a clock transition to the vicinity of the first end of the optical waveguide.

Abstract: An atomic oven includes a cartridge and a main body. The cartridge includes a holder that accommodates an atom source; and a capillary nozzle. The main body includes: a housing in which the cartridge is installed; a button heater; an access opening for removing the cartridge from the main body and placing the cartridge into the main body, the access opening being provided on the atmosphere side, which is outside the main body; and a passage from the access opening to the housing. The cartridge is inserted into the main body through the access opening and is installed in the housing. The atom source is heated by the button heater, whereby atomic gas generated from the atom source is emitted as an atom beam to the vacuum side, which is outside the main body.

Abstract: An optical lattice clock includes a clock transition space having disposed therein an atom group trapped in an optical lattice, and a triaxial magnetic field correction coil for correcting the magnetic field of the clock transition space. Additionally, in a correction space that includes the clock transition space and is larger than the clock transition space, a photoreceiver promotes the clock transition of the atom group trapped in the optical lattice and acquires a clock transition frequency distribution for the correction space. Further, a corrector corrects the magnetic field of the triaxial magnetic field correction coil on the basis of the frequency distribution measured by the photo receiver.

Abstract: By heating a high-temperature bath with a heater, atomic gas is generated in the high-temperature bath from an atomic source. A magneto-optical trap is realized by a laser beam reflected by a right-angled conical mirror and a magnetic field formed by a magnetic field generator, and the atomic gas is confined by using the magneto-optical trap and cooled. The cooled atoms are output from an opening to the outside of a slow atom beam generator by a laser beam, which is a push laser beam. A slow atomic beam is thereby formed.
