“…For the X, A, and B states, we construct Rydberg-Klein-Rees potentials, calculate the vibrational wavefunctions in these potentials, and use these to calculate the vibrational branching ratios for the A-X and B-X transitions [268]. For the C-X, D-X and E-X transitions, we use the branching ratios given in [269]. We find magic wavelengths near 554 nm, 600 nm and 696 nm.…”

The detection of variations of fundamental constants of the Standard Model would provide us with compelling evidence of new physics, and could lift the veil on the nature of dark matter and dark energy. In this work, we discuss how a network of atomic and molecular clocks can be used to look for such variations with unprecedented sensitivity over a wide range of time scales. This is precisely the goal of the recently launched QSNET project: A network of clocks for measuring the stability of fundamental constants. QSNET will include state-of-the-art atomic clocks, but will also develop next-generation molecular and highly charged ion clocks with enhanced sensitivity to variations of fundamental constants. We describe the technological and scientific aims of QSNET and evaluate its expected performance. We show that in the range of parameters probed by QSNET, either we will discover new physics, or we will impose new constraints on violations of fundamental symmetries and a range of theories beyond the Standard Model, including dark matter and dark energy models.
