The extreme precision of optical atomic clocks has led to an anticipated redefinition of the second by the International System of Units. Furthermore, accuracies pushing the boundary of 1 part in 1018 and beyond will enable new applications, such as in geodesy and tests of fundamental physics. The 1S0 to 3D1 optical transition in 176Lu+ has exceptionally low sensitivity to external perturbations, making it suitable for practical clock implementations with inaccuracy at or below 10-18. Here, we perform high-accuracy comparisons between two 176Lu+ references using correlation spectroscopy. A comparison at different magnetic fields is used to obtain a quadratic Zeeman coefficient of -4.89264(88) Hz/mT for the reference frequency. With a subsequent comparison at low field, we demonstrate agreement at the low 10-18 level, statistically limited by the averaging time of 42 hours. The evaluated uncertainty in the frequency difference is 9 × 10-19 and the lowest reported in comparing independent optical references.
