Differential Light Shift Cancellation in a Magnetic-Field-Insensitive Transition of 87^{87}Rb

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We demonstrate near-complete cancellation of the differential light shift of a two-photon magnetic-field-insensitive microwave hyperfine (clock) transition in 87^{87}Rb atoms trapped in an optical lattice. Up to 95(2)95(2)% of the differential light shift is canceled while maintaining magnetic-field insensitivity. This technique should have applications in quantum information and frequency metrology.
