Abstract
This paper describes work towards the use of integrated microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) technology to shrink atomic clocks from their present-day table-top sizes down to only one cubic-centimeter, while retaining exceptional timing stability on the order of 10-11 Allan deviation integrated over one hour, and all while consuming less than 30 mW of power.Proceedings Title
