Creation of New Precision Optical and Microwave Technologies and their Application to Testing the Fundamental of Physics

时钟和振荡器对于最高精度的科学和工业测量至关重要，是现代通信技术的基础。激光冷却光学时钟的最新发展预示着全球导航、计时和精密测量领域的一波革命性变化。我们的团队在这一领域已经取得了世界上最好的表现。为了保持在这一浪潮的前沿，我们提出了一项广泛的研究计划，旨在： -新时钟的性能是任何现有时钟的100倍， -开发极低噪声的光子振荡器， -应用这些新技术来测试物理学基础，包括参与一项天基实验。

Clocks and oscillators are crucial for the highest precision scientific and industrial measurements and are the foundation of modern communications technology. Recent developments in laser-cooled optical clocks promise a wave of revolutionary changes to global navigation, timekeeping and precision measurement. Our group has already achieved world's-best performance in this field. To stay at the forefront of this wave we propose a broad-ranging program of research aimed at: - new clocks of 100 times higher performance than any existing clock, - development of extremely low noise photonic oscillators, - the application of these new technologies to test the foundations of Physics, including involvement in a space-based experiment.
