Accelerating the averaging rate of atomic ensemble clock stability using atomic phase lock

We experimentally demonstrated that the stability of an atomic clock improves at its fastest rate τ ^−1 (where τ is the averaging time) when the phase of a local oscillator is genuinely compared to the continuous phase of many atoms in a single trap (an atomic phase lock). For this demonstration, we...
