Abstract We present a new framework to study the time variation of fundamental constants in model-independent way. Model independence implies more free parameters than assumed previous studies. Using data from atomic clocks based on 87 Sr, 171 Yb + and 133 Cs, we set bounds controlling fine-structure constant, α , electron-to-proton mass ratio, µ . consider variations timescales ranging minute almost day. In addition, use our results derive some tightest limits date parameter space models...

Optical atomic clocks demonstrate a better stability and lower systematic uncertainty than the highest performance microwave clocks. However, best performing optical have large footprint in laboratory environment require specialist skills to maintain continuous operation. Growing evolving needs across several sectors are increasing demand for compact robust portable devices at this capability level. In paper we discuss design of physics package laser-cooled 88 Sr + clock that would, with...

An atom interferometer using a Bose--Einstein condensate of $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$ atoms is utilized for the measurement magnetic-field gradients. Composite optical pulses are used to construct spatially symmetric Mach--Zehnder geometry. By biased we demonstrate ability measure small residual forces in our system and discriminate between magnetic inertial effects.
