Clark PY - 2018 JO - Reviews of Modern Physics DO - 10.1103/revmodphys.90.025008 UR - https://doi.org/10.1103/revmodphys.90.025008 AB - Advances in atomic physics, such as cooling and trapping of atoms and molecules and developments in frequency metrology, have added orders of magnitude to the precision of atom-based clocks and sensors. Applications extend beyond atomic physics and this article reviews using these new techniques to address important challenges in physics and to look for variations in the fundamental constants, search for interactions beyond the standard model of particle physics, and test the principles of general relativity.
