contents Optical atomic clocks based on trapped ions suffer from systematic frequency shifts of the clock transition due to interaction with blackbody radiation from the environment. These shifts can be compensated if the blackbody radiation spectrum and the differential dynamic polarizability is known to a sufficient precision. Here, we present a new measurement scheme, based on quantum logic that allows a direct transfer of precision for polarizability measurements from one species to the other. This measurement circumvents the necessity of calibrating laser power below the percent level, which is the limitation for state-of-the-art polarizability measurements in trapped ions. Furthermore, the presented technique allows to reference the polarizability transfer to hydrogen-like ions for which the polarizability can be calculated with high precision.
