• Abstract: Accurate determination of hyperfine structure constants in atomic systems provides important insight into the interplay of electron correlation and relativistic effects in the nuclear region. Although sodium (Na) is a relatively light atom, previous all-order relativistic many-body calculations of the magnetic dipole hyperfine constants for the low-lying states of $^{23}$Na show noticeable discrepancies with experiment. To address this, we calculate the ionization potentials and hyperfine structure constants of $^{23}$Na using relativistic coupled-cluster theory with explicit inclusion of triple excitations. We further incorporate corrections from the Breit interaction, quantum electrodynamics, and the Bohr-Weisskopf (BW) effect. Results from lower-order methods are also presented to assess the importance of different physical contributions across states. Our calculations demonstrate that contributions from the lower-order relativistic and BW effects play almost similar roles with the electron correlation effects, including triple excitations, and are essential for reconciling theoretical predictions with experimental observations. This study can also serve as a useful guide for understanding the role of triples in heavier alkali systems.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.
