New book “The Quantum Physics of Atomic Frequency Standards: Recent Developments”

Written by Jacques Vanier and Cipriana Tomescu, this book reviews conventional atomic frequency standards as described in the previous two volumes. It describes the development that has been done since the 1990s in improving conventional frequency standards. It covers the research and development done in the optical range to implement an optical frequency standard. It is designed for those groups and companies working in the areas of high-speed communications and data networks, navigation systems, satellites, GPS, timekeeping, and more.
