Opticlock: Towards a transportable and user-friendly optical single-ion clock — •Juergen Stuhler1 and opticlock Consortium21TOPTICA Photonics AG — 2www.opticlock.de

Today’s most precise clocks are research prototypes based on optical reference transitions of neutral atoms or single ions. Their unprecedented precision of few parts in 1018 opens up numerous applications, e.g. improved network synchronization or navigation as well as geodetic height measurements.

The opticlock consortium of industrial and academic partners (www.opticlock.de) is developing an easy-to-use optical clock based on a single 171Yb+ ion. The complete clock system will be integrated into two mobile 19" rack assemblies. It comes with a fully autonomous control system and is designed for reliable operation in a standard industrial environment. The key technologies of this project will extend the portfolio of commercially available components to the benefit of many applications of quantum technology.

We will give an overview of the opticlock system design, present the current development status of selected subsystems or components and report on first clock performance tests.

This work is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research within the program "pilot projects quantum technologies" (FKZ 3N14380).
