Research abstract
We propose development of a high performance, portable atomic clock using cold atom technology. The clock will have short term stability of better than 10^-12 at one second and of 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 Device SWaP and the operational concept are suited to high performance in field applications, enabling wide-spread deployment.
