Highly charged ions (HCIs) are promising candidates for the next generation of atomic clocks, owing to their tightly bound electron cloud, which significantly suppresses common environmental disturbances quantum oscillator. Here we propose and pursue an experimental strategy that, while focusing on various HCIs a single element, keeps number candidate clock transitions as large possible. Following this strategy, identify four adjacent charge states nickel that offer many six optical...
