Optical atomic clocks based on a single aluminium ion reach a record fractional frequency systematic uncertainty below 10−18. This outstanding precision allows for applications like relativistic geodesy on the cm-level and helps to tighten the bounds for physics beyond the standard model. But single ion clocks are impeded by their low signal-to-noise ratio and require therefore long averaging times. Even state-of-the-art laser stabilization is not sufficient to enable lifetime-limited interrogation of 27Al+. Thus, pre-stabilization of the clock laser via a 40Ca+ multi-ion reference could further improve the coherence time of the laser and thus increase the interrogation time on 27Al+. Here we present the status of PTB’s 27Al+ clock and the implementation of a multi-ion Ca+ reference based on dynamical decoupling. The estimated error budget of 1 × 10−18 of the 27Al+ clock is based on measurements using a 40Ca+ ion as a sensor. A continuous dynamic decoupling scheme is used to suppress inhomogeneous broadening from quadrupole and tensor ac Stark shifts in multi-ion 40Ca+ crystals. Simultaneous suppression of first order Zeeman shifts allows interrogation of the crystal close to its natural lifetime limit.
