Universal formalism for data sharing and processing in clock comparison networks
We present a mathematical framework adapted to the comparison of atomic clocks remotely connected by a complex network of optical or microwave links.

| description | We present a mathematical framework adapted to the comparison of atomic clocks remotely connected by a complex network of optical or microwave links. This framework facilitates the computation of frequency ratios using a generic set of equations that are valid for a wide variety of clock architectures, making the comparison of a large number of clocks practical. This formalism suggests a generic data exchange protocol that can be used in clock comparison collaborations, for which data logging and decision taking are completely local procedures, independently implemented by the participants. |
