Ultrastable and ultra-accurate clock transitions in open-shell highly charged ions

Abstract Highly charged ions (HCIs) are less sensitive to external perturbations and are therefore attractive for the development of ultrastable clocks. However, only a few HCI candidates are known to provide optical clock transitions. In this work, we discover a large family of HCI clocks, with mor...
