The cesium 6S_1/2 scalar dipole polarizability alpha_0 has been determined from the time-of-flight of laser cooled and launched cesium atoms traveling through an electric field. We find alpha_0 = 6.611+-0.009 x 10^-39 C m^2/V= 59.42+-0.08 x 10^-24 cm^3 = 401.0+-0.6 a_0^3. The 0.14% uncertainty is a factor of fourteen improvement over the previous measurement. Values for the 6P_1/2 and 6P_3/2 lifetimes and the 6S_1/2 cesium-cesium dispersion coefficient C_6 are determined from alpha_0 using the procedure of Derevianko and Porsev [Phys. Rev. A 65, 053403 (2002)].

We present electric dipole polarizabilities ($alpha_d$) of the alkali-metal negative ions, from H$^-$ to Fr$^-$, by employing four-component relativistic many-body methods. Differences in the results are shown by considering Dirac-Coulomb (DC) Hamilt onian, DC Hamiltonian with the Breit interaction, and DC Hamiltonian with the lower-order quantum electrodynamics interactions. At first, these interactions are included self-consistently in the Dirac-Hartree-Fock (DHF) method, and then electron correlation effects are incorporated over the DHF wave functions in the second-order many-body perturbation theory, random phase approximation and coupled-cluster (CC) theory. Roles of electron correlation effects and relativistic corrections are analyzed using the above many-body methods with size of the ions. We finally quote precise values of $alpha_d$ of the above negative ions by estimating uncertainties to the CC results, and compare them with other calculations wherever available.

Three earlier relativistic coupled-cluster (RCC) calculations of dipole polarizability ($alpha_d$) of the Cd atom are not in good agreement with the available experimental value of $49.65(1.65) e a_0^3$. Among these two are finite-field approaches i n which the relativistic effects have been included approximately, while the other calculation uses a four component perturbed RCC method. However, another work adopting an approach similar to the latter perturbed RCC method gives a result very close to that of experiment. The major difference between these two perturbed RCC approaches lies in their implementation. To resolve this ambiguity, we have developed and employed the relativistic normal coupled-cluster (RNCC) theory to evaluate the $alpha_d$ value of Cd. The distinct features of the RNCC method are that the expression for the expectation value in this approach terminates naturally and that it satisfies the Hellmann-Feynman theorem. In addition, we determine this quantity in the finite-field approach in the framework of A four-component relativistic coupled-cluster theory. Considering the results from both these approaches, we arrive at a reliable value of $alpha_d=46.02(50) e a_0^3$. We also demonstrate that the contribution from the triples excitations in this atom is significant.
Polarizability is a key response property of physical and chemical systems, which has an impact on intermolecular interactions, spectroscopic observables, and vacuum polarization. The calculation of polarizability for quantum systems involves an infi nite sum over all excited (bound and continuum) states, concealing the physical interpretation of polarization mechanisms and complicating the derivation of efficient response models. Approximate expressions for the dipole polarizability, $alpha$, rely on different scaling laws $alpha propto$ $R^3$, $R^4$, or $R^7$, for various definitions of the system radius $R$. Here, we consider a range of atom-like quantum systems of varying spatial dimensionality and having qualitatively different spectra, demonstrating that their polarizability follows a universal four-dimensional scaling law $alpha = C (4 mu q^2/hbar^2)L^4$, where $mu$ and $q$ are the (effective) particle mass and charge, $C$ is a dimensionless ratio between effective excitation energies, and the characteristic length $L$ is defined via the $mathcal{L}^2$-norm of the position operator. The applicability of this unified formula is demonstrated by accurately predicting the dipole polarizability of 36 atoms and 1641 small organic~molecules.

The spin-magnetic moment of the proton $mu_p$ is a fundamental property of this particle. So far $mu_p$ has only been measured indirectly, analysing the spectrum of an atomic hydrogen maser in a magnetic field. Here, we report the direct high-precisi on measurement of the magnetic moment of a single proton using the double Penning-trap technique. We drive proton-spin quantum jumps by a magnetic radio-frequency field in a Penning trap with a homogeneous magnetic field. The induced spin-transitions are detected in a second trap with a strong superimposed magnetic inhomogeneity. This enables the measurement of the spin-flip probability as a function of the drive frequency. In each measurement the protons cyclotron frequency is used to determine the magnetic field of the trap. From the normalized resonance curve, we extract the particles magnetic moment in units of the nuclear magneton $mu_p=2.792847350(9)mu_N$. This measurement outperforms previous Penning trap measurements in terms of precision by a factor of about 760. It improves the precision of the forty year old indirect measurement, in which significant theoretical bound state corrections were required to obtain $mu_p$, by a factor of 3. By application of this method to the antiproton magnetic moment $mu_{bar{p}}$ the fractional precision of the recently reported value can be improved by a factor of at least 1000. Combined with the present result, this will provide a stringent test of matter/antimatter symmetry with baryons.
We compute the electric dipole polarizability of 48Ca with an increased precision by including more correlations than in previous studies. Employing the coupled-cluster method we go beyond singles and doubles excitations and include leading-order thr ee-particle-three-hole (3p-3h) excitations for the ground state, excited states, and the similarity transformed operator. We study electromagnetic sum rules, such as the bremsstrahlung sum rule m_0 and the polarizability sum rule alpha_D using interactions from chiral effective field theory. To gauge the quality of our coupled-cluster approximations we perform several benchmarks with the effective interaction hyperspherical harmonics approach in 4He and with self consistent Greens function in 16O. We compute the dipole polarizability of 48Ca employing the chiral interaction N2LOsat [Ekstroem et al., Phys. Rev. C 91, 051301 (2015)] and the 1.8/2.0 (EM) [Hebeler et al., Phys. Rev. C 83, 031301 (2011)]. We find that the effect of 3p-3h excitations in the ground state is small for 1.8/2.0 (EM) but non-negligible for N2LOsat. The addition of these new correlations allows us to improve the precision of our 48Ca calculations and reconcile the recently reported discrepancy between coupled-cluster results based on these interactions and the experimentally determined alpha_D from proton inelastic scattering in 48Ca [Birkhan et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 252501 (2017)]. For the computation of electromagnetic and polarizability sum rules, the inclusion of leading-order 3p-3h excitations in the ground state is important, while less so for the excited states and the similarity-transformed dipole operator.
