27. See, for example, the classical experiment: J. L. Hall, C. J. Bordé, and K. Uehara, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.37.1339 37, 1339 (1976).
28. For the photon-recoil experiment the two interferometer states are actually based on the | F, mF = | 3,0 and | 4,0 hyperfine states of the electronic ground state of cesium. The interferometer is constructed in such a way that any erroneous detuning of the rf oscillator bridging the 9.2 GHz frequency difference between the hyperfine states cancels the in the measurement. Hence, the energy difference EIF effectively corresponds to EIF /h=3752 Hz as far as the accuracy of the measurement is concerned. In terms of noise, however, the cancellation does not work perfectly and therefore the energy difference between the two quantum states should be considered EIF /h=9.2 GHz.
