Magic wavelength for optical trapping of neutral mercury atoms — •Raluca Aldea and Simon Stellmer — Physikalisches Institut, Nussalle 12, Universität Bonn, 53115 Bonn, Germany
We are investigating samples of neutral mercury atoms due to their potential to realize highly controllable and stable quantum systems. This approach is used to test with high precision the fundamental symmetries and probe for new physics beyond the standard model.
A platform using cooled mercury atoms is a good candidate due to its insensitivity to blackbody radiation. And its electronic configuration of two valence electrons gives it properties similar to the alkaline earth-like elements.
We calculate the polarizabilities of the 1S0, 3P0 and 3P1 states and determine the magic wavelength of the 1S0 → 1P1 transition along with the Stark shift.
