Laser-induced quenching of the Th-229 nuclear clock isomer in calcium fluoride

The 10-min radiative lifetime of the first excited ^{229}Th^{4+} nuclear state in ionic crystals provides narrow spectroscopic linewidths, enabling the realization of a solid-state nuclear clock. Due to the 4+ noble gas configuration, electronic readout or state initialization schemes known from ato...
