25. m (on the order of days, weeks or even months when traceable to an atomic clock) implies a similar potential stability for the atomic candle.
26. For example, the field strength could be tightly locked to the Rabi resonance, but if the Rabi resonance were fluctuating, the candle's output would exhibit corresponding variations. See V. Pevtschin and S. Ezekiel, Opt. Lett. 12, 172 (1987).
