In comparison of the solutions from the Schr6dinger and Dirac equations, the relativistic corrections on the magic wavelengths are of the order of 10-2 nm. The laser intensities for a 300-Er-deep optical trap and the heating rates at 514 and 1371 nm are estimated. The reliable prediction of the magic wavelengths would be helpful for the experimental design on the optical trapping of the hydrogen atoms, and in turn, it would be helpful to improve the accuracy of the measurements of the hydrogen 1S-2S and 1S-3S transitions.展开更多
