Title : Ramsey interference with single photons
Interferometry using discrete energy levels in nuclear, atomic or molecular systems is the foundation for a wide range of physical phenomena and enables powerful techniques such as nuclear magnetic… Expand
Cold atom space clock with counter-propagating atoms
We discuss the feasibility of realizing a cold atom space clock with counter-propagating cold atoms in microgravity. The design of the space clock is based on an atomic beam clock with Ramsey cavity,… Expand
Extraordinary low systematic frequency shifts in bi-colour thulium optical clock
Optical atomic clocks have already overcome the eighteenth decimal digit of instability and uncertainty demonstrating incredible control over external perturbations of the clock transition frequency.… Expand

Simultaneous bicolor interrogation in thulium optical clock providing very low systematic frequency shifts
TLDR
This work demonstrates implementation of a synthetic frequency approach for a thulium optical clock with simultaneous optical interrogation of two clock transitions and shows suppression of the quadratic Zeeman shift by at least three orders of magnitude. Expand

TLDR
Although the problems involved in the design of accurate and reliable frequency and time standards are somewhat different, these two topics will be dealt with together since a clock can be used as a frequencyStandard while a frequency standard by itself will not read time. Expand
