Research abstract
We propose development of a high performance, portable atomic clock using cold atom technology.The clock will have short term stability better than 10^-12 at one second and 5x10^-15 at timescales of one day.The size, weight, and power (SWaP) of the clock will be <1 L, <1 kg, and <5 W respectively.The clock SWaP and operational concept are suited for high performance in field applications, enabling wide spread deployment.
