Abstract

Ytterbium-171 is a versatile atomic species often used in quantum optics, precision metrology, and quantum computing. Consolidated atomic data is essential for the planning, execution, and evaluation of experiments. In this reference, we present physical and optical properties of neutral ¹⁷¹Yb relevant to these applications. We emphasize experimental results and supplement these with theoretical estimates. We present equations to convert values and derive important parameters. Tabulated results include key parameters for commonly used transitions in ¹⁷¹Yb (¹S₀→¹P₁, ¹S₀→³P_0,1,2 , ³P_0,2→³S₁, and ³P₀→³D₁). This dataset serves as an up-to-date reference for studies involving fermionic ¹⁷¹Yb.

Discussions

• After 88Sr, we have now also written a manuscript on 171Yb: arxiv.org/abs/2509.04416 We hope it is useful and welcome feedback and comments on how we can improve it. [bsky, 3 points, 0 comments]
