Cover Story: Strong coupling between atomic states and photonic states in an optical cavity can lead to the formation of dressed states, the properties of which can differ significantly from those of the bare atomic states. A similar phenomenon can occur in highly charged ions, where nuclear states strongly couple with electronic states in a process known as nuclear hyperfine mixing (NHM). In this work, we investigate NHM effects in Pb76+205, Pb75+205, Pb74+205, and Pb73+205 ions. We show that significant NHM effects are present in all these ions, reducing the lifetime of the nuclear isomeric state by two to four orders of magnitude compared to the bare nucleus. Additionally, our results highlight that the active valence electrons, rather than the unpaired electrons, play a crucial role in this effect. View this paper
