We consider hyperfine-mediated effects for clock transitions in $^{176}$Lu$^+$. Mixing of fine structure levels due to the hyperfine interaction bring about modifications to Lande $g$-factors and the quadrupole moment for a given state. Explicit expressions are derived for both $g$-factor and quadrupole corrections, for which leading order terms arise from the nuclear magnetic dipole coupling. High accuracy measurements of the $g$-factors for the $^1S_0$ and $^3D_1$ hyperfine levels are carried out, which provide an experimental determination of the leading order correction terms.

High precision spectroscopy of the $^1S_0$-to-${^1}D_2$ clock transition of $^{176}$Lu is reported. Measurements are performed with Hertz level precision with the accuracy of the hyperfine-averaged frequency limited by the calibration of an active hy drogen maser to the SI definition of the second via a GPS link. The measurements also provide accurate determination of the $^1D_2$ hyperfine structure. Hyperfine structure constants associated with the magnetic octupole and electric hexadecapole moments of the nucleus are considered, which includes a derivation of correction terms from third-order perturbation theory.

We report the observation of the higher order frequency shift due to the trapping field in a $^{87}$Sr optical lattice clock. We show that at the magic wavelength of the lattice, where the first order term cancels, the higher order shift will not con stitute a limitation to the fractional accuracy of the clock at a level of $10^{-18}$. This result is achieved by operating the clock at very high trapping intensity up to $400 $kW/cm$^2$ and by a specific study of the effect of the two two-photon transitions near the magic wavelength.
We demonstrate precision measurement and control of inhomogeneous broadening in a multi-ion clock consisting of three $^{176}$Lu$^+$ ions. Microwave spectroscopy between hyperfine states in the $^3D_1$ level is used to characterise differential syste matic shifts between ions, most notably those associated with the electric quadrupole moment. By appropriate alignment of the magnetic field, we demonstrate suppression of these effects to the $sim 10^{-17}$ level relative to the $^1S_0leftrightarrow{}^3D_1$ optical transition frequency. Correlation spectroscopy on the optical transition demonstrates the feasibility of a 10s Ramsey interrogation in the three ion configuration with a corresponding projection noise limited stability of $sigma(tau)=8.2times 10^{-17}/sqrt{tau}$
We present a novel method for engineering an optical clock transition that is robust against external field fluctuations and is able to overcome limits resulting from field inhomogeneities. The technique is based on the application of continuous driv ing fields to form a pair of dressed states essentially free of all relevant shifts. Specifically, the clock transition is robust to magnetic shifts, quadrupole and other tensor shifts, and amplitude fluctuations of the driving fields. The scheme is applicable to either a single ion or an ensemble of ions, and is relevant for several types of ions, such as $^{40}mathrm{Ca}^{+}$, $^{88}mathrm{Sr}^{+}$, $^{138}mathrm{Ba}^{+}$ and $^{176}mathrm{Lu}^{+}$. Taking a spherically symmetric Coulomb crystal formed by 400 $^{40}mathrm{Ca}^{+}$ ions as an example, we show through numerical simulations that the inhomogeneous linewidth of tens of Hertz in such a crystal together with linear Zeeman shifts of order 10~MHz are reduced to form a linewidth of around 1~Hz. We estimate a two-order-of-magnitude reduction in averaging time compared to state-of-the art single ion frequency references, assuming a probe laser fractional instability of $10^{-15}$. Furthermore, a statistical uncertainty reaching $2.9times 10^{-16}$ in 1~s is estimated for a cascaded clock scheme in which the dynamically decoupled Coulomb crystal clock stabilizes the interrogation laser for an $^{27}mathrm{Al}^{+}$ clock.
We study ultracold collisions in fermionic ytterbium by precisely measuring the energy shifts they impart on the atoms internal clock states. Exploiting Fermi statistics, we uncover p-wave collisions, in both weakly and strongly interacting regimes. With the higher density afforded by two-dimensional lattice confinement, we demonstrate that strong interactions can lead to a novel suppression of this collision shift. In addition to reducing the systematic errors of lattice clocks, this work has application to quantum information and quantum simulation with alkaline-earth atoms.
