In this work, we report an application of Hylleraas-B-spline basis set to the nonrelativistic Bethe logarithm calculation of helium. The Bethe logarithm for n 1 S, n up to 10, states of helium are calculated with a precision of 7-9 significant digits in two gauges, which greatly improves the accuracy of the traditional B-spline basis set. In addition, to deal with the numerical linear correlation problem in Bethe logarithm calculation, we developed a multiple-precision generalized symmetric eigenvalue problem solver (MGSEPS). This program may be very useful to precision calculations.
A large-scale full-configuration-interaction calculation based on Dirac-Coulomb-Breit (DCB) Hamiltonian is performed for the 2 1 S0 and 2 3 S1 states of helium. The operators of the normal and specific mass shifts are directly included in the DCB framework to take the finite nuclear mass correction into account. High-accuracy energies and matrix elements involved n (the main quantum number) up to 13 are obtained from one diagonalization of Hamiltonian. The dynamic dipole polarizabilities are calculated by using the sum rule of intermediate states. And a series of magic wavelengths with QED and hyperfine effects included for the 2 3 S1 → 2 1 S0 transition of helium are identified. In addition, the high-order Ac Stark shift determined by the dynamic hyperpolarizabilities at the magic wavelengths are also evaluated. Since the most promising magic wavelength for application in experiment is 319.8 nm, the high-accuracy magic wavelength of 319.815 3(6) nm of 4 He is in good agreement with recent measurement value of 319.815 92(15) nm [Nature Physics (2018)/arXiv:1804.06693], and present magic wavelength of 319.830 2(7) nm for 3 He would provide theoretical support for experimental designing an optical dipole trap to precisely determine the nuclear charge radius of helium in future.
