Abstract

Our research group is currently building a highly precise and stable atom interferometer/ atomic time standard. This is an atomic clock which, among other capabilities, will enable precision measurements of fundamental constants. Some of the long term goals of this project include time rate-of-change measurements of the fine structure constant, measurements of time dilation, and inertial force sensors.
